Pittsburgh Public Schools Launches New Website

Pittsburgh Public Schools this week launched a new website, with an easier-to-use navigation design and more user-friendly features to help keep parents and other informed.

School officials said the website was re-designed with families and community members in mind.

"As we work toward our goal of becoming a district of first choice, we know we must continually improve the way we communicate with our families and those considering sending their children to the Pittsburgh Public Schools," said Superintendent Linda Lane, in a statement released by the district. "Our hope is that families find our new site a resourceful, easy to navigate one-stop shop for information about the District."

One of the site's new features is a tool called Discover PPS, which includes individual school and state performance reports, school directories, and school progress on the district’s three goals of accelerating student achievement, eliminating racial disparities and becoming a district of first choice.

The site also now includes a central location for forms, resources, news and frequently asked questions, as well as a video section. The district also has an active Twitter page, @PPSnews.

The URL for the new website is the same as the old website: http://www.pps.k12.pa.us.
