For the 2023-24 school year, there is a homepage template all teachers must use. Before following the steps below, make sure you have your sandbox course set up first.
Go into your sandbox course or the course students are connected to (directions included here to create sandbox course)
On the right side you will see the “Import from Commons” button. Click on it.
In the search bar at the top, type “Cox Mill Elementary Homepage 2023-2024”
Click on the result with a laptop screen. You should see my name on the resources as well.
On the right side, click the blue “Import/Download” button.
Check the box next to your sandbox course.
Click the blue “Import into Course” button.
You will see a green message on the screen that states, “You have successfully started the import! It may take a little while to see changes in your course.”
Go to your dashboard or course list and go back into your sandbox course.
Click “Choose Home Page” on right side.
Select the circle next to “Pages Front Page” and click save.
When you click “Home” on the left side now, you should now see the homepage template displayed.
Click “Edit” in the top right to customize your welcome message, email address and optional picture. NOTE: Do not change anything above the gray line regarding the format. The font, font size, layout (centered text) should all remain the same and not be altered. The goal is consistency across the district.
Click “Save” under the text edit box to save your changes.
