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! 

We will be turning on the Summer Transition steps later this month to help get your system wrapped up for the current year and ready for next year
. 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.
