********Bring in Brightways********
GET EXCITED!
We are pleased to announce a NEW student management system this summer. Our current program, SALTT, has served us for many years but is now outdated. We have been working hard the last several months to bring Frontier families a new and improved student management system, called Brightways!
We are customizing it to be simple and easy to use, and be more informative about your budget, orders, and reimbursements.
Brightways should be up and running for the new school year. You can add your new 2024/25 ILPs into our new program once it's active, later this spring.
We will continue to update you on the progress and with your help, we will have a smooth transition to our new program.
How to re-enroll current Frontier students:
DO NOT apply to the lottery
Log into SALTT.
Your students' names will be on the right side of the screen.
Make sure "yes" is clicked.
Click the red "SAVE" button.
THAT'S IT!
If you have a new student to enroll you will need to apply to the lottery. https://www.asdk12.org/lottery
