Drupal

The District website migrated to the new Drupal web management system as of August 1, 2009.

Logging In
To sign in, enter your B ID number ("b" and your 6 digit identification number) and your password is "x" and your 6-digit date of birth (for example, x010269). If you receive the message "Sorry, unrecognized username or password," click the "Request new password" tab, enter your b-number, and click "E-mail new password." Your new password and instructions will be sent to your GroupWise account. You are strongly encouraged to then change your Drupal password. Many persons have changed their password so that it is the same as their staff account (Novell) password.

Navigation
Navigation is difficult initially but keep in mind that there is a search box (on the left) and an Index (on the bottom). If you are logged in to Drupal, your search results may be different than if you are not logged in. There's more information under "Our New Look" http://www.madison.k12.wi.us/node/4019 on the home page, including navigation tips.

Home Addresses
Several participants expressed concern about their home addresses showing up in the staff directory in Drupal. Please keep in mind that this is an internal page and one must be logged in to see this information. The information displayed has been on the Employee Information form for many years, so there is nothing displayed that hasn't been published in the staff directory. If you would like to remove your home information from the online directory, you will find a link here.
