B.O.S.S. Updates
3-5 Teachers: We have simplified the WFA process for 3-5 to now use the Engrade Gradebook export. Just like OHS/OMS courses, you will export your gradebook to Excel, and use the Identity ID to track student progress. The QRG and related video are below.

FAST Team
High School Platform Support: All 6, 7, and 8th grade students have been invited to FAST Live Help. Please direct them to come to live help if they have questions about navigating the platform. If you have students who need more training than a live help session can provide, please ask them to attend an orientation. Here is a schedule with links to each session that you can share with them. You can also share this video with them.
Here are directions for creating a FAST referral. Please remember to send a teacher referral letter (you can find it in the FAST Referrals Smore) once you have created a referral for the student AND complete this note:
