Suicide Prevention Week
Professional Day in Morgan Hunter
I would like to ask that you communicate with your certified staff that when they are entering a Professional Day that they “Do-Not” use the HR Default budget code.
Please work with your certified staff and provide the correct budget code prior to entering the Professional Day.
SMSD Tech Thursdays
Tech Thursdays are professional development opportunities centered around the implementation of instructional technology. Each month the session will focus on a different topic or resource. Teachers can sign up through MyLearningPlan, and any sessions you attend can count as self-directed PD/points toward relicensure. See the attached flyer for more information. Email Kelly Capper (iCoach at SMW) for more information.

Sept. 19th 4:00-5:00 – Technology Management with Apple Classroom
iStation Access- Teachers and Students
It’s a good idea to first login to iStation to make sure that you are associated with the correct "campus." It may make you reset it from last year. Your username should be the abbreviated/building one. For example, mamiller. If you do not remember your password, you will have to select forgot password to reset.
Students will go through a similar process. Once they select the app they will need to find/choose their school domain. Marsh.shawneemission.ks
Student username: student number
Student password: first name initial + last name initial + student number (example: KC300000)
Troubleshooting Tips:
If the app isn’t responding like it should, go into Manager and update the app.
General iPad Troubleshooting Tips:
- When apps aren’t behaving as they should, go to the Manager app and select “update.”
- Double check settings for an iOS update
- Ask students to close all apps and/or websites they are not using.

Materials Request
If you have extra copies of materials/resources that are currently being used within the district (Wonders, Engage NY, etc.), please send them ASAP to the Indian Creek Resource Library, Attn. Joni Kelsey. Although you should keep a few extra copies in case of new students, please do not store these materials at your buildings as they may be needed by another building, and this will save us from the cost of ordering materials unnecessarily.
Thank you for your help in utilizing our district resources efficiently!
