Diagnosis

This behavior happens when:

The School Loop website is opened on a device with a small monitor (e.g., a tablet or a smartphone) - all pages linked in the navigation bar cannot be displayed on the screen.
There are too many top-level pages/minisites on the School Homepage - they cannot fit into the navigation bar.
The browser's zoom setting is high and/or the operating system's text-size setting is large.
