Process
Learn more about working with modules in the editing view and then follow these steps to log in and reach the Edit page to modify the templates for the district modules:
- Log into your SL account as Senior District Webmaster.
- Navigate to the Toolbox > Admin Center. If you do not see this option under the Toolbox, it is likely that you do not have the necessary rights.
- Click on the District Modules tab.
- Select the wrapper that you want to edit.
- Click Edit to configure modules within the wrapper template. Once a module is selected, options specific to it appear in the edit toolbar. These changes will be reflected immediately on all sites that use this theme.
Follow these steps to configure the top wrapper:
- Select Top Wrapper.
- Click and edit the name of the district
- Select the button label for the mega menu.
- Edit the links for your schools.
- Click on Save and Exit, once the changes are complete.
Follow these steps to configure the bottom wrapper:
- Select Bottom Wrapper.

- Click and edit the contact details.
- Click on Save and Exit, once the changes are complete.
Follow these steps to configure the emergency news district module:
- Select Emergency News.
- Click and edit the title.
Note: You can only edit the title of this module. By default, this is News Alert. You may change it as desired, but for 508 accessibility, you should not remove the title. - Click on Save and Exit, once the changes are complete.
The members of the Emergency New Group have the rights to post news that will appear in the red News Alert module. Typically, the members of this group are limited since alert news appears on every single site in the district.
Learn more about assigning rights to users for posting emergency or alert news. You can choose to add members with group admin rights, which also allows them to add members.
