Newline Interactive Flat Panels have made their way to buildings! These have been implemented in 14 locations.
Currently ISD has a new service replacing School Messenger called Parent Square. It is a secure service that allows all certificated staff to communicate to parents and students in different kinds of digital ways such as email, text, and a mobile app. Rosters are uploaded and are synced from PowerSchool, our SIS. Communication through Seesaw and Canvas are still encouraged, but this service can assist with being a one stop shop for functionality of things like Remind, SMORE, Peachjar, TeamSnap, Signup Genius, and other similar communication tools.
Classwize is a new tool which can allow teachers to view and take control of student chromebooks. Click the tutorial to learn more!
On the chromebook contract parents have a contact email of: helpme@isdschools.org Our Technology Department is collectively monitoring this account which is intended for assisting folks who need assistance with a chromebook. The phone number for our ISD Technology Support line is 816-521-5553 during normal school hours.
ISD has SMART MX version 3 and SMART MX version 4 Interactive Flat panels. Middle Schools have Version 3, while Elementaries have a majority of Version 4 boards. In the summer of 2024 ISD hopes to deploy New Vision Boards, which will interact in many ways similar, but more tutorials will follow.
