- UNIFY Tips for Scanning Scansheets:
Please do not scan unused sheets for students who have already moved from your class, as the resulting zero may overwrite the score from the correct teacher. Non-bubbled sheets should only be scanned if the student deserves a score of zero.
Please remember to include both the Student Name and ID Number if not using a pre-printed scan sheet. If sheets are double-sided, be sure student information is on both sides. Please be sure last names are included!
To minimize mistakes by the scanner, please remember to change the scan file type to TIFF and scan as Gray Scale or Color. This will help ensure that bubbles and erasures are read correctly.
Please remind students to bubble dark, complete bubbles, to stay within the bubbles, to erase mistakes completely, and not to mark near the barcode.
If using scan sheets with only teacher bubbles, you can print double-sided to save paper. Just remember to scan double-sided as well!
- TAC Tips of the Week: 1) If you are responsible for taking attendance, please check your Period 0 Homeroom class and make sure all students are listed. If anyone is missing, please contact the master scheduler in your building. 2) See the News area at the bottom of your Home page for latest announcements. 3) In your Reports area, please delete any old reports that are no longer needed. These take up valuable server space.
