Coming Up This Month...
In July, completing the Summer Transition steps
should be well underway. These steps are mandatory and need to be
completed by the end of the summer. Without completing these
steps, your system will not be functional for the next school year.
In
addition to working on the Summer Transition steps, there are several
other items that need to be addressed. Here are those
items:
- Complete Summer Transition Steps
- Fill Teachers’ GradeBooks
- Set Up the Master School Calendar
- Define Quarter/Trimester Dates
- Evaluate Grade Scales
- Review ReportCards
- Examine Schedule Codes
- Edit Teacher Accounts

What's New...
When
setting up homerooms for the new school year, often times a student's
schedule code can become different from that of his/her homeroom
teacher's schedule code. Schedule codes are essential for tracking
attendance accurately with regards to tardies, leaving in the middle of
the day and leaving early.With very few exceptions, it is important to
make a student's schedule code match the teacher's, which is why we
have created a button to reset the schedule codes for all students.
