AUGUST 2018  -  Ready To Get Started!

Coming Up This Month...

The start of school can be a crazy time but HelpDesk is here to make it easier.  With the start of school quickly approaching, FastDirect wants to make sure your school is ready.  In addition to completing the Summer Transition steps, there are several other items to be addressed.  To stay on top of the many features and settings that need to be reviewed for the start of school, we have created a checklist for administrators, as well as separate ones for teachers and parents.  Click the links below to view the checklists, as well as our FastDirect Summer Timeline!

              

 

HelpDesk is available to help guide you through these steps - just contact HelpDesk with an FDmail message or call our toll free number 866.805.3116.
