Important Reminders
The accounts within our various programs are fed by PowerSchool and are updated nightly through a sync.
When new students enroll during the school day, their accounts do not automatically show up within our programs. Once they are entered into Powerschool, their accounts will not activate until after the sync happens OVERNIGHT. If you have a new student enroll, it may take a day for them to show up within the programs. Please remember this and wait accordingly before making any contacts about missing students.
**When you are missing a student or students within our programs, please check their placement in PowerSchool FIRST to make sure it is correct. If it isn't, please contact Rhonya Lackey in the front office. Once corrections are made, PowerSchool will sync with our programs and the corrections will be made.**
**If a student's placement is correct within PowerSchool, THEN please contact Sarah Dillard about the error. She will contact Kim Cline to make the correction.**
BBLearn Gradebook Directions/ ITF CHECK
As a reminder, here are the directions for setting up your gradebooks. PLEASE READ AND COMPLETE THESE QUESTIONS CAREFULLY. When you are finished, please contact Sarah Dillard so can check your settings to make sure they are correct before you enter any grades!
MGSD Technology Policies
Here is another quick reminder that ALL Faculty and Staff must electronically sign that they have read, understand and accept all the MGSD Technology Policies. If you have not done this, please do it ASAP! Please see the email sent out from Dr. Scott Smith.
