We have a master training calendar, a training timeline, and class lists sorted by buildings all prepared for a smooth transition to our new Skyward Student Information System. You may recall that our other system became outdated and would no longer be serviced. We will attempt to schedule training for staff members on extended contracts, i.e., Secondary Media Specialists, Counselors, etc. as part of their work days. Some 10-11 month clerical staff may need to start the year earlier for training. Staff at ALC will need to get trained more quickly due to summer school use of the system. This is a mandatory training; information will be sent to administrators so they can notify staff of the training. Since there may be conflicts due to the summer schedule, a phone number will be set up for people to call to make changes. Training is limited to 10 seats at a time, and there will be Mini-training scheduled for District Administrators and Principals.
My vision will be a system that allows for ease of use and great communication to families. A system such as this allows parents the opportunity to tune into their child's records and homework on a daily basis.
