1) ParentSquare End of Year Tasks
As you wind down the 2023-24 school year, we need you to complete a few tasks in ParentSquare to prepare for summer and the next school year. Christine Steward created this sheet to help you "clean house" in ParentSquare. When you click on the link, it will force you to make a copy so you can have your own copy to help you manage your tasks.
Please note the following information:
All posts and class rosters will be archived on May 30, 2024
Groups will not be deleted or archived. Follow the directions in the sheet to either delete or update your group for the summer and/or next year.
Coaches/Advisors who created groups will need to complete the tasks in the "Group Tasks" section of the sheet.
If you are teaching this summer, new rosters will be synced to your teacher account.
Rosters for the 24-25 school year will be synced 7 days before the first day of school in August.
2) Clean Up Google Classroom Before You Go
2) Clean Up Google Classroom Before You Go
At the end of each school, it is important for teachers to ARCHIVE (not delete) any classes that aren't wrapping around to the following year. This isn't just an important step for the digital classroom organization for teachers, but it is critical for students as well. Why? Because students are no longer able to unenroll or archive their own classes. Don't worry, all of the information and assignments will be saved, and be "Re-used" next year, it's just that the class is hidden from view. ~AO
3) Teacher Computers
3) Teacher Computers
Laptops: If you are taking your laptop home over the summer, make sure you fill out this form as part of your building's end of year procedure (only needs to be filled out once).
Other Classroom Technology: Chromebooks, chargers, documents cameras, portable DVD drives, etc, should remain locked up in your classrooms over the summer.
Desktops: Teacher desktops are nearing end of life (both functionally and for security). They operate at about 1/10 of the performance of your teacher laptop, which was purchased to replace your desktop. The technology department can no longer support desktop repairs. So, you should begin thinking about and preparing for how your classroom might be setup without it. If you are still using a teacher desktop as a workstation, it would be a good idea to backup your files to your Google Drive. Here's how. ~AO
Back up the files on your computer to Google Drive.
