We’re excited to announce that the Georgia Department of Education will unveil a brand-new website in November 2024! The new gadoe.org will enhance user experience and provide easier access to resources, information, and services for educators, parents, students, and stakeholders across Georgia. Here’s what to expect on the new platform:
- User-Friendly Navigation: A more intuitive design to ensure you can find the information you need quickly and easily.
- Enhanced Accessibility: Improved accessibility features to better serve all users, including those with disabilities.
- Mobile Optimization: Seamless browsing experience on all devices – whether on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
- Updated Content: Comprehensive, up-to-date information on educational policies, programs, and initiatives.
- Interactive Tools: New and enhanced tools to assist educators and parents in supporting student success.
When the new website launches, some content you’re used to finding on gadoe.org may be found in a new location. Please review the information below to prepare for the new website experience.
For Parents, Families, and Community Members:
The navigation of the new gadoe.org is designed to be simple, intuitive, and easily direct you to the information you’re seeking. The site will also feature several pages specifically curated based on your connection to Georgia public education, highlighting resources for each group:
Do you have pages bookmarked from the current gadoe.org? If those pages have moved to a new location on the site, the old URL will redirect to the new page. If the content has moved to another GaDOE platform, you’ll see an informative overview page highlighting available GaDOE platforms and frequently requested resources.
