Previous Information
How to Address IT Issues with Parents
While promoting social distancing to our families, we suggest parents and scholars to email edtech@uplifteduation.org so the IT team can attempt to
resolve any login and Chromebook issue remotely. If it’s determined the issue cannot be resolved remotely, they will be advised to visit a “drop-off” location during one of the open windows. We want to emphasize that these two locations are for drop off and pick up of loaner devices only. The IT team will not repair hardware, troubleshoot or install software during this period. Users will receive an email from IT once their broken device is fixed and schedule for pick up at the same location where the device was dropped off.
Schedule: Tuesdays and Fridays; 9AM to 12PM – BEGINNING TUESDAY, MARCH 31st Locations: Uplift Williams 1750 Viceroy Drive, Dallas, TX 75235 and Uplift Meridian 1801 S. Beach Street, Fort Worth, TX 76105
Parents Still Requesting Computers
Staff Testing for COVID-19
See email from Yasmin. To recap, if you, as an Uplift staff member, have been tested or if you have tested positive for COVID-19, please email hr@uplifteducation.org so that the network can provide support. Uplift will not release your personal information to the Uplift community
ARDS
We must complete any ARDs that are scheduled. Accept ARD invites from Johnson, Clark/Warren or a member of the SPED team.
Scholar Packets Update
By now all packets should be received. If parents are still requesting follow these steps;
- ask parents if they have access to e-mail and a computer, if so send them the packet in an e-mail
- If the answer it no to #1, then submit their address in the link below.
*Please note that packets are only being mailed out on Fridays, so if #1 is possible that would be best as they will have to wait another week.
*If you have any other specific questions about mailing packets, you can email Amanda Martin at CMO.
*Packets and scope and sequence for them are below and attached for your viewing and planning.
