Guidance on Navigating the New DOE Websites

​The DOE recently launched a new public-facing website (schools.nyc.gov) and a new intranet site (InfoHub), which is partly public-facing and includes a secure side for DOE employees. To access all available content and pages in the employee-only InfoHub, you should log in using your DOE Outlook credentials; the employee sign-in link can be found on the top-right corner of InfoHub. For assistance navigating the new websites or if you are having trouble accessing InfoHub links, see this guidance document. Please share this information with your school community.
 
Note that the DOE will continue to work with stakeholders across the city to improve and build out the sites. Also note that the old intranet, including the Principals' Portal, will remain up until all necessary content is migrated to the new InfoHub. For additional information about the website project, see this press release.
