April 24th - Take your child to Work Day

Teachers,

Today can be considered an excused absence. This means that the day does not count toward perfect attendance. If a child has given you a note prior to this day stating they are participating in a parent's Take Your Child to Work day activities, the day counts as excused and use the code, XA. If there is no note, the child is considered unexcused absence as usual.

Here are some of the new items on PowerTeacher 1.1

You will see a few changes that are very helpful in the 1.1 version of PowerTeacher gradebook. The first thing you will see when you open your PowerTeacher is the new "attendance dot." It will turn green (as shown in the picture below) when you have taken attendance that day and it has been reported to the server. Also, you will now notice that when you open your grade book in Java that the scoresheet opens to the actual quarter you are in, it no longer opens to the Y1 and you have to remember to open to the quarter. More information to come...

Also, if you want to go back into the Training program from Pearson, they have added a component that explains the 1.1 gradebook. A lot of it will be review and familiar, but it might be helpful seeing the rest of the added features.
