CASD uses Blackboard as their website template. This allows anyone with the proper access the opportunity to update a web page without having to know html coding or any other special skill other than how to do a few clicks and type in information. All Website Editors have access to a particular building page or Channel within that page.
To access your portion of the website go to www.casdschools.org , then at the top right toolbar, click on the "Sign in" link. Use your Computer credentials (username: last name first initial - password same as your computer password). Since we use our CASD credentials here, the "Forgot My Password" link does not work. If you are unable to sign in, please open a ticket utilizing our online Help Ticket system.
To gain access to edit your section, go back to the top taskbar and click on "Site Manager"
Now you are set to make the necessary changes.
