5 Ways to Get Support
SYNERGY SE & IEPs
We're so glad you're here!
We've been busy making lots of changes so we wanted to make sure you had lots of resources and supports! Below are 5 ways to get support on Synergy SE and/or IEPs.
District Documents & Resources
We've put together a ton of guides, resources and supporting documents to help you with IEPs and working with Synergy SE. These are all located in a shared folder on Google Drive called "GBSynergySEStaffResrouces". There's currently 4 folders within this resource:
- GB District Info
- General Synergy SE
- Synergy SE National Guides
- Synergy SE Training Materials
GB District Info
Contains various resources applicable to our district that could be helpful. For example the DEP manual, Feeder School , GBSD Acronyms, Sped Codes, Survey Results, etc...
General Synergy SE
Resources here are divided based on whether they deal with general navigation and use of Synergy SE (Synergy SE Basics) or pertain to the IEP and various process documents (Specific to IEPs)
Synergy SE National Guides
This is where you can locate the state and national user guides provided by Synergy and Edupoint.
SPECIFIC TO IEPs
This folder is located under "General Synergy SE" and contains numerous quick reference guides, sample wording and templates for IEP writing, evaluation information and much more. If it has to do with Synergy and completing IEP paperwork this is a good place to go!
NEW
Since we made so many updates this summer, I've tried to indicate in the file name if it's a NEW resource.
UPDATED
We also have several updates that have affected existing resources. So those affected documents will have UPDATED at the beginning of the file name.
Google Docs IMPORTANT to Synergy SE Summer Changes
There are currently 2 documents that outline the changes that were made in Synergy SE over the summer.
- 2016SYNERGYCHANGES (Google Doc)
- ALLSTAFF_backtoschool2016Tips&Tricks (Google Slides)
The Help Desk is located under the Staff Resources on the district's web page. Submitting a Help Desk ticket is a great way to get technical support when you have difficulty with Synergy SE.
Be sure to indicate in the ticket that it's for Synergy SE so it will get filtered to us quickly.
Also if your ticket pertains to a specific student, be sure to include their student ID.
3. EMAIL/CALL

4. OPEN LABS
We've currently scheduled 4 Open Labs for the start of the school year. Open Labs are an opportunity to bring your computer and come get questions answered, learn basic navigation, or tips and tricks for working in Synergy SE. Open Labs are always on an individual/as needed volunteer basis. We will send out a calendar invite for each one with pertinent information; if you with to attend RSVP to the invite so we can plan accordingly!
TO SIGN UP FOR AN OPEN LAB
Email Catherine Wilson at Wilson141@gresham.k12.or.us if you wish to attend an Open Lab. In your email let me know what date you wish to attend and if there are any specific topics you would like to work on during the lab. It is an important to sign up so we can prepare appropriately and notify you of any important specifics or logistically information you need to be made aware of. Also if there are no staff that indicate a desire to attend an Open Lab 24 hours prior to the lab it will be cancelled.
