Stafford MSD is proud to share our brand refresh with the community. A brand is more than a logo. It’s an expression of everything we do and stand for in SMSD, and there are many different visual and verbal elements involved. We wanted to honor our history, while defining our look including logos, messaging, typography, color palette, accessibility, brand elements, and photography.

Our website is powered by Finalsite, and SMSD believes it is best to start by promoting important communications and messaging on the worldwide web as this information is simultaneously accessible to staff, families, and community. We have a user friendly, mobile-first website with optimal accessibility depending on the device being used including cell phones, desktop computers, laptops, and tablets. We have connected the navigation for all of our campus websites including:

• Stafford Municipal School District: www.staffordmsd.org
• Stafford Early Childhood Center www.secc.staffordmsd.org
• Stafford Elementary School: www.ses.staffordmsd.org
• Stafford STEM Magnet Academy: www.stem.staffordmsd.org
• Stafford Middle School: www.sms.staffordmsd.org
• Stafford High School: www.shs.staffordmsd.org

Events
With so many activities and updates happening on campus every day, our website's Calendar Manager enables users to organize, update and notify others with ease. Community members can subscribe for email and text event reminders, or use dynamic iCal feeds to automatically update calendars with school’s events. Additionally, users filter or search all events by campus.

News Stories
These posts add a dynamic view into the day-to-day life of students, parents, volunteers, and staff at our school by telling stories, sharing announcements, and promoting upcoming events.

Athletic Events
Another powerful tool on the website that tracks over 50 of our athletics teams at SMS and SHS by campus, season, sport, division, and gender. Connect with our amazing student athletes by subscribing to events and checking game recaps / results.

Our main goal for all social media platforms is to share information and engage with families. We want you to stay plugged in with us throughout the day, and whenever you decide to scroll your favorite newsfeed. Connect with us to find fresh, daily content on all handles including videos posted to YouTube. Be sure to follow the district account for SMSD on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube!
