May 2016 - Getting Ready for Summer!
|
|
Coming Up This Month...
In May, most of our
schools will be wrapping up their final grading period. 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!
This week, we are turning 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 - just contact
HelpDesk to set up a time when you are ready to
get started.

Your
staff list grows a little bit longer every year. When you 'really
retire' a staff account, you are helping shorten the page loading times
and keeping your staff list clean and clear.

Summer
is a welcomed change for most students but can sometimes be a time to
forget things they have learned over the school year. Ask your teachers
to add links to the Links page for summer reading lists, math
worksheets or educational activities to keep your children engaged and
learning over the summer!
