Resurrection School Web Site

The resurrectionschool.com website has been set up to allow designated members of the staff to submit or edit information on the website. To insure that no inappropriate content is posted, all submitted information is screened by the web master(s) before becoming visible on the site.

All information on the site is managed as documents. Currently there are 3 types of documents defined: 

  1. Articles contain information that remains on the site but may be periodically changed or updated such as the Faculty List or the school policies.
  2. Files are any PDF or other information that needs to be uploaded such as menus, FYI.
  3. News items contain information of a timely nature which cycle off the site as new ones are posted such as "Friday is Spirit Day" or 'SCHOOL IS CLOSED"

To perform and administrative  tasks, go to test.resurrectionschool.com website and login using the website userid and passwd.
