ITS Updates
STAFF DEVICES AND INTERACTIVE FLAT PANELS
We are working diligently to get these ordered and delivered. Supply chain issues and model upgrades have delayed us from having these ready for the first day of school. Please rest assured that we are in the process of procuring and planning the best way to roll these devices out and will update you as we come closer to the set up and delivery date.
ELEMENTARY MASTER SCHEDULING IN AERIES
Aeries has made improvements in their application so we are now able to master schedule students. The benefits to this change include:
- Integration into PUSD Analytics allowing teachers and administrators to view student data and use early warning and intervention tools
- Ability to enroll students in more sections, including SPED and ELD
- Ability for multiple teachers to enter grades for students (ex. Arts teachers)
- Grade passback from Canvas to Aeries will work, cutting down on time teachers spend inputting grades in Aeries
Support will be available during this transition time. For Aeries specific support, please reach out to our Aeries team via the Help Desk system. For Canvas/Aeries grade passback support, please look out for upcoming trainings or reach out to the EdTech team.
