For Your Information:
Updating TNCompass Contact Information for All Educators
The department is working with TNCompass to enhance the personalized communication that exists between educators and TNCompass. To ensure the security of these communications, all educators must review their accounts and update their username/email address to reflect their official district email address. We ask all district evaluation configurators to communicate this requirement to all educators in the district.
To update their email addresses, educators should select “Account Information” from the home page upon login and click the “Change Username/Email” link under account settings. Please note that this change must be made in the account information section and cannot be made in the educator profile. With technical questions, please reach out to support@tncompass.org.
- Remember our dedication to 2 positive parent contacts a week. This can be note, email, or call. The power of depositing in a parents' emotional bank account is critical to a supportive relationship.
- tnAchieves is seeking mentors for students who will graduate in Spring 2018. Requirements to be a mentor include being at least 21 years of age, applying to serve by December 1, passing a background check, completing the one-hour mandatory mentor training, attending two one-hour meetings per year with your students and communicating with students every two weeks via email, phone or text as they transition from high school to college.

Message topics include physical activity, nutrition, stress management, character development, etc. Also, if your school is interested in installing a school garden or in obtaining help with an existing garden, there are several community partners now willing to assist with installation and ongoing maintenance.
