New Olde Creek Website
Earlier this
week we launched a newly designed website, which will offer several advantages
including:
- Displaying
on mobile devices, an important feature because so many of you are coming
to the site through cell phones,
-
Enabling
the easy sharing of content between school and Fairfax
County Public Schools (for example, emergency alerts about weather closures etc. from the
main site will be promptly displayed on the school site),
- Making
navigation of sites easier for parents as children progress through the
FCPS schools because all sites will feature similar menus, and
- Featuring
accessibility to all users with disabilities (508 compliant).
We are proud
that Olde Creek is one of the first schools to move its website to the new
format adopted by FCPS this past summer.
If you are
not able to find the information you need on our home page, you can use any of
the following:
- Search Function, similar to the
way you would look for information on Google,
- Top Menu, which links to main
topics including About, Academics, Activities, Resources, and Contact
Us, and
- Full Menu, in the upper
left hand corner of the home page, which shows all the items under the
main topics.
If you have
bookmarked our current website, be sure to update that with our new website
address https://oldecreekes.fcps.edu/
While we
have tried to include all of the information that you come to rely on, there
may be something that we have forgotten. If that is the case, feel free to
contact our school office.
