Mobile Website Unveiled

Posted On: 8/9/2012

Connecting with the York County School Division (YCSD) is even simpler now for students, parents and community members on the go. The division website (yorkcountyschools.org) is now available in a mobile format to make it easier to view on most smartphone and tablet devices. Smartphone users will be automatically directed to the mobile version with the option to visit the full site if they choose. Smartphone users can also access the site by going to m.yorkcountyschools.org.

Led by Programmer Analyst Jason M. Short, division staff created the site to allow parents and students better access to frequently requested information such as calendars, menus and school supply lists. According to a 2011 Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project report, one-third of all adults now own a smartphone. Some 87% of smartphone owners regularly access the internet or email, with many citing a preference to go online using their phones, rather than a computer.
