![]() ![]() In the upper right corner of our sites you will see a button that says "Website Correction?". We think this will be the start of doing a better job celebrating our staff and all the awesome work they do with Mercer Island students. We look forward to adding staff photos from each school to our sites. On the District site, we have incorporated photos of the staff that work in each department. So, if it is not as robust with results as you would think to start, it will get better. In our community feedback sessions we heard about how important it was to be able to find the search function to find what a user was looking for. The search function is new to our websites, so the more our community searches, the more results will be returned. ![]() With our new sites we have highlighted the search function with a bar in the navigation menu. Right now we have five language translations enabled and will be adding more languages as we move forward. The translation includes all text and menu navigation on pages on our sites. When you click on this icon it will load a menu vertically upwards with languages that our sites can be translated into. In the lower right corner of all our sites you will see an icon that says “English >”. Our new sites have the capability to be translated into a language other than English. As we use video more and more we will be hosting more of the videos on our site and embedding YouTube videos less frequently. Some of the videos are hosted on our new FinalSite content management system and some are YouTube embedded videos. There are other areas where we have incorporated video into our sites, like on our District Videos page, where we have videos ranging from Superintendent Rundle to our Discover the District series to unique features we have produced. On each site's home page we have a welcome message from a District or school administrator, or in the case of MIHS, a video highlighting all the school offers from Student Board Representatives Andrew Howison and Asha Woerner. We know how important video is to telling stories about the great students, staff, and programs in the District and we are excited to have integrated video into all of our sites. The Mercer Island School District is pleased to announce we have relaunched our District and school websites. Welcome to the Mercer Island School District's new websites. ![]()
