eSchool Need to Know
Importing Schedule Change Grades- If you have a student who has a schedule change into your class, and they come from a class with the same PEIMS number, you will be able to import their scores. Look for little sunshine next to their name. Heads up- if you make changes to your gradebook before dealing with the little sunshine icon, it will disappear and you will need to ask the teacher from whom they came for the grades. Here is a handout showing you how the import process works, and here is how to find your withdrawn students to see their grades if you end up needing that.

You Tube
You (and students) MUST be logged in to YouTube to watch most videos. You need to be sure that videos you want to show are approved in order to guarantee that students will be able to see them. When you approve a video, it approved for EVERY FISD user from Pre-K up through Seniors, so watch what you are approving. Your name will be tired to the approval. To approve a video, open the video while logged in to Your YouTube account and click on "approve" in the blue bar below the video.
Note- Subs have student YouTube access and cannot see or show YouTube videos that are not approved.
On a related note: Here is some information about how you can download YouTube videos.
