Coming Up This Month...
For the schools who are approaching 2nd quarter report cards, here are some FastDirect functions that may need to be addressed:

• Closing input for 2nd mid-quarter reports
• Opening up teacher input for 2nd quarter report cards
• Closing teacher input for 2nd quarter report cards when teachers have finished importing grades

The winter season can sometimes mean changes in school schedules and closings because of weather. If your school closes due to inclement weather, you will need to change the Master School Calendar to reflect that those days are non-attendance days. To notify your staff and parents of any closings, late starts or early dismissals, use the FDbroadcast feature. These broadcasts can go directly from the school to the parents’ cell phones and email accounts, keeping everyone informed instantly! Click 'Read more' to find out more on:
