What It Means

WordPress Multisite is a system that lets all 11 Montclair PTA websites share one platform. This keeps them looking consistent and makes them easier to manage.

More Details

Instead of each PTA having a completely separate website, all the PTA sites live under one roof. This means:

  • All sites share the same header and footer, so parents with kids in multiple schools only need to learn one layout.
  • Calendars can be shared across PTAs — the main PTAC site shows events from all schools.
  • When volunteers move from one school’s PTA to another (as kids change schools), the tools work the same way.
  • WordPress is the most popular website system in the world, so there are lots of resources and help available.

Important

The PTA website is completely separate from the school’s website (which is run by the school district). They may link to each other, but they are managed by different people.
