Alamo Heights ISD previews redesigned district website ahead of July launch
Summary
Director of Communications Julianne Matonis previewed an overhaul of ahisdd.net to improve accessibility, mobile responsiveness and navigation; district migration begins in phases with a mid‑June target to replace the current site before 07/01/2026, and Matonis asked community testers to complete a brief feedback survey.
Julianne Matonis, the district’s director of communications, gave a preview of an all‑new district website for Alamo Heights ISD and asked advisory‑council members to test a mockup and complete a short feedback survey.
Matonis said the current site has not been overhauled in more than a decade and that the new platform will emphasize accessibility (screen‑reader compatibility and color contrast), mobile responsiveness and improved navigation and translation features. “More people will see the website than will actually physically go to our schools, so it's really about kind of upping our presence there,” Matonis said.
The work is in two phases: a design and district‑site migration followed by school‑level migrations. Matonis said district migration work was set to begin the week after the presentation and the team is aiming for a mid‑June readiness window because the current site is scheduled to be retired on 07/01/2026. She asked attendees to complete a brief yes/no mockup survey and to volunteer for follow‑up testing and user feedback.
Matonis also said the team will limit reliance on PDFs and unofficial Google sites for program information, and will bring only accessible, vetted content into the new platform to reduce maintenance burdens for site managers. She invited anyone with additional feedback to leave contact information so staff can follow up.
The district will provide training for additional site managers as pages are finalized, and Matonis said the goal is a cleaner public front page with a news feed, calendar functions and easier access to critical resources for families, staff and prospective community members.
The district did not announce a final vendor contract or the full public launch schedule beyond the mid‑June readiness goal.
