You need a Webmaster account
to receive ftp (file transfer protocol) access to the
MCPS web server.
Only a principal or administrator (A&S level supervisor) can request accounts for their school or office. Since the principal or supervisor is ultimately responsible for the content of the school or office site, they must have knowledge of those persons having access to update their sites.
After Web Services receives the form, we'll create the account.
You will receive a username and password as well as a document defining your role and responsibilities as a webmaster (someone with access to the web server). Become familiar with this document and guidelines & policies that guide computer use and web publishing.
At the very minimum you will need an HTML editor and an FTP program.

Web Services offers support and
tools to help you and your site improve:
Webmaster Conference: Web Services moderates this conference (accessible in Outlook) for MCPS webmasters and others. They trade ideas, problems, and solutions. It’s lively, helpful, professional and fun. Publishing Tools: A suite of tools that help you publish content more easily to your site. There are even tools that require no HTML. A school secretary, for example, could use the Newsbox Publisher to publish school announcements to the Web site.
Site Utilities: allow you to perform analysis and your visitors to interact with your site. For example, webmasters can add our Feedback Form to their sites to make it easy for visitors to send e-mail comments.
