Access Your Website

All page editing takes place on a staging server (http://ektron.pgcps.org) which uploads to the public one time per hour on the 30 minute mark (1:30, 2:30, 3:30, etc.).
Login using the button "Login" above.
To edit your page, you will need to access your website from the staging server. The easiest way to ensure that you are accessing your website from the proper location, follow the links below:
- Schools
- Offices
When you have located your school or office, click on "Website"
- For Schools: change the beginning of the URL from "schools" to "ektron" So your editing URL should be https://ektron.pgcps.org/(name-of-your-school)
- For Offices: change the beginning of the URL from "offices" to "ektron" So your editing URL should be https://ektron.pgcps.org/(name-of-your-office)

Coming Soon: Card Design - Enhanced School Info Page

This sample school uses an enhanced school information page to create a card-based design. Allows a school to utilize already-existing content from PGCPS with a consistent icon-driven design and layout. Lessens the work while providing a professional look.

2 column

Margaret Brent Regional School uses a 2 column layout with rotating stories and announcements.

2 Column with Large Rotating Story

High Bridge Elementary uses a 2 column layout with a larger photo.

2 Column with Announcements Focus

Judith P. Hoyer Montessori uses a 2 column layout with a focus on announcements. This allows them to schedule most of their website changes in advance.

Hybrid - 2 Column - 3 Column

Benjamin Tasker Middle School uses a 2 column top, 3 column bottom design. This requires more content blocks, but allows for larger rotating stories.

3 Column - Custom Graphics

Accokeek Academy uses a 3-column layout for desktop with custom graphics created by their web editor. Highlights include a quicklinks section that remains visible on a mobile device.
