  12. Future dates will postpone viewing of Assignment Details, but not viewing changes to Current and Cumulative averages • Failure of the teacher populating the date does not prevent parents from seeing changes to averages • Teachers with Preference to “Count Blank Marks as Zeros” should enter all marks for an assignment or this preference will be applied

  17. Why do we need Parent Assistant? • To improve the effectiveness of the communication between teachers and parents • To allow Technology a way to provide a more efficient means of communication

  18. Parent Assistant: Teacher Considerations • When and how frequently will teachers enter assessments and marks? • Will all teachers count missing marks as 0 – Zero? • If a teacher doesn’t enter marks for all students in an assessment, what will happen to the average for the students who have no mark entered? • Will the teacher print a Progress Report for all students?

  19. Parent Assistant: Teacher Considerations • How often will High School teachers turn in absence notes so the absence reasons can be updated? • How often will teachers update absence reasons in Elementary and Middle Schools?

  20. Parent Assistant: Other Considerations • Will Report Cards be printed for all students? • How will this program impact Parent/Teacher conferences? • Who will create, modify, delete parent accounts for Parent Assistant? • Who will approve the demographic changes?

  21. Parent Awareness • Current Plans: • An AlertNow call will be sent to parents once the system is available • The availability of the program will be publicized on the (Your LEA) Webpage, in the Superintendents Newspaper article, School Newsletters, etc…
