June 2017 - Hello Summer!
|
|
Coming Up This Month...
In
June, most of our schools have finished the school year and are winding
down for the summer. For those schools that are still in session,
here are some items that may need to be addressed:
- Closing input for 4th mid-quarter reports
- Opening up teacher input for 4th quarter report cards
- Closing 4th quarter report cards when teachers have finished importing grades
Some
schools also have a ‘Semester 2’ and/or a ‘Final’ column on their
report cards. If this has been set-up at your school, then you
will need to open up input for those grading periods as well.
Summer Transition -
Time to get ready for the end of the school year! We have turned
on the steps for the Summer Transition process, which appear at the top
of your Home screen. 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. HelpDesk is available to help guide you through these steps
and move you forward to 2017-2018.

| ...For Administrators |
|
In
FastDirect, there are two levels of inactive parents. The first level
happens automatically when a student is moved to transfers or
graduates. The second level, which is not mandatory, has to be done by
an admin at the school. Read more to learn about the faster way to make
parent accounts completely inactive.

Summer
is a good time to review the files you have uploaded in your file
manager. To help you review those files, you can sort your uploaded
files either alphabetically or by the date of the upload.
