System Update
As some of you may have heard... the district will be upgrading the web system this summer.  We're not sure exactly what that means for us or when it will happen, but we'll keep you posted as we know more.  We have heard that a new ID and password should be emailed to you when this happens.

Image Gallery Tips
When creating image galleries, it's usually easiest to use your favorite photo editing software to get all of the pictures edited and in the proper order before uploading them.  Google's Picasa is a good free option for PC users (there's now a Mac version too), and iPhoto is good for Mac users.

Once you get your photos organized, you'll want to export them with a maximum dimension of 400 pixels -- the maximum that's displayed by the image gallery on the web site.

To upload more than one picture at a time, just create a .zip file and then upload that.  For Mac users, select all of the images in the Finder, control+click on one of them, and then choose Compress...

Note that the maximum file size allowed is 4 MB (about 25-30 pictures at 400 pixels), so if you have a lot of pictures, you may need to upload them in groups.  Be sure to upload the groups in the reverse order from how you want them displayed.
