School Office Improvements

Welcome to the new school office improvements forum. We recognize that your work is important on many levels but most particularly, your relationships with the students, staff and community stakeholders in your school. However, we also know there are many things we also ask of you that are important for the continued operation of the board, like accurate data entry, financial procedures, and attendance. The purpose of this forum is to seek out ideas on streamlining your administrative work, making it easier for you to do your jobs well and enabling you to serve your school better.

This isn’t just a survey – this area will be open as a pilot for the rest of the school year and we would ask that you consider submitting a specific idea, and coming back to vote on the ideas that others have offered. This will help us not only identify ideas, but gain your feedback on the ideas that are the most important. The more specific and constructive you can be, the better. For example, providing a suggestion to find a way to collect payments electronically would be more helpful than a suggestion to provide general training.

As always, please ensure your comments are positive, constructive and respectful to your colleagues.

Thank you!

    Coming Soon!

    This feature will be available after the full release of the new My Family Room Online Payments.

    Schools will have the ability to post forms out to parents in My Family Room. Parents with My Family Room accounts will be able to provide consent online.

    Stay tuned to updates on this planned enhancement.

  2. PowerTeacher Attendance notification to show that they have completed their attendance.

    There should be an indicator in Power School so the attendance clerk can see clearly if a teacher has completed their attendance.

    We have completed a pilot of the Hall Monitor app with Touch Attendance at 13 schools this Winter-Spring. It has been very successful and we are planning a full launch of the service in the 2017-2018 school year.

    Some functionality you can use in PowerSchool to track attendance taken by teachers will be addressed for school office staff.
