How to Become a Website Editor

Requirements for Website Editing Access

SPS staff and volunteers can complete the requirements listed below to gain access to edit their school’s website or department’s webpages. Please complete all requirements and then email webmaster@xlqx.net when you are done.

An SPS email address is required to edit the SPS websites. If you do not have one, please reach out to webmaster@xlqx.net and we will help you get one set up.

The web editing training courses are available in our online learning system, NEOED LEARN. The courses are asynchronous, meaning you can take them at any time. You will need an SPS email address to access the courses.

  • Department editors need to take one course:
    • SPS Web Editing 101A
  • School Editors need to take two courses:
    • SPS Web Editing 101A
    • SPS Web Editing 101B

If the link above does not work for you, please email webmaster@xlqx.net for support.

Important note: We use a content management system (CMS) called WordPress to edit the SPS websites. WordPress developers will release a new version of WordPress periodically, and sometimes with the new version the placement of some buttons and settings changes. These changes are out of SPS control. We (the web team) try to update our instructions and training materials to match as much as possible. If you have any questions, please email webmaster@xlqx.net.

Please ask your school’s principal or department/division manager to fill out the Website Access Permission Form.

They will need your first and last name and email address to submit the form.
