User Names Have Been Corrected!

I am glad to announce that all of the names have been corrected in our e-mail system. When you use the display name, first name, or last name search boxes you will get the proper result.

Here is a little background on the issue:

Over the last few weeks, the IT Department has been working to correct all 500+ names for our Windows login and email system. Many of the users in the system had been created incorrectly (a long time before I got here) with first and last names switched or no first and last name at all.

I was alerted to this by district staff and the IT Department set out to fix the problem. It took us a while to make the changes, but we are glad to announce that they are finally done! Please take a look in the address book to confirm that your name appears how you would like it to appear and let me know if you have any changes.

PowerSchool 6.2.2 is here

Over spring break, we will be upgrading to version 6.2.2 of PowerSchool.  Along with usual bug fixes that are included in this update, there were a couple of notable new features added to PowerSchool.  Below you will find a list of these new features.

New in PowerTeacher 2.2.2

Link to the New PowerTeacher Mobile App
On the PowerTeacher portal, a new App Store link is now available on the main menu. The link takes you directly to the Apple App Store to download the PowerTeacher Mobile application. This image and link are only visible if the teacher account is configured to use PowerTeacher Gradebook, and the district and school have Mobile Services enabled.

Weighted Mean Now Available as Standards Final Grade Calculation
Based on customer feedback, the weighted mean is now available as one of the standards final grade calculation options in PowerTeacher and PowerTeacher Administrator. The weighted mean uses both the total points possible and the assignment weights.
