Tips from the Field: Affiliate Microsites
Each month we will provide tips from the field. All tips were noted from the Affiliate Leadership Conference. Check out the newsletter each month to see if your tip was shared!

July is the month to update your microsites! 

Each Affiliate is required to maintain a region-specific webpage (microsite) within the Scholastic Awards website. Affiliates that administer both art and writing programs will have a separate microsite for art and writing. This is a student's one-stop-shop for all questions about their Regional Affiliate. 

Affiliates, you have access to your microsite within your ORS account. This allows for customization about specific procedures, deadlines, and key dates for your program. All information should be clear, concise, and thorough. 

To update your region's microsite, log into your ORS account and click on Regional Web Page in the toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen. To edit the page, click Edit at the top of the page. 

The more information you provide on your Affiliate microsite, the better the experience will be for students and educators!

The deadline to update your microsite is August 15, 2018.
