What is CMS

CMS (Content Management System) is an exciting new school website initiative aimed at giving schools the tools needed to produce a vibrant, current, and professional looking website. CMS enables webmasters to focus on the content of their website instead of the technical details. The new iSite prong of the Office of Instructional Technology will be offering CMS training throughout the city. Training is required for a user to be given permission to edit their page.
