Course Recommendations for 2013-14 School Year

If you teach a course where a recommendation is required, these Course Recommendations for the 2013-2014 year must be entered in PowerTeacher by January 28th.   Instructions on how to enter
your recommendations is outlined in this link:  Course Recommendation Instructions for Teachers

The list of "active" courses in the above instructions may change.  I am waiting on confirmation on approval of the Program of Studies from the School Board.

If you have any additional questions, concerns or need assistance, feel free to stop by.
Thanks ~ Kerri

PTC Wizard Setup for Feb 2013 Conferences


Good afternoon everyone!  
It is that time again to prepare for February Parent Teacher Conferences.  For those who haven't visited our tech website recently, please read the information & instructions below.  If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.  For those that are new to this process please see your mentor, Craig or myself.



PTC Wizard - Parent Teacher Conferences

Instructions for all teachers: 
Conferences are  February 11, 12, 13 and 14th from 7:00-7:50 am and 2:40-7:00 pm.   All teachers are currently scheduled as AVAILABLE for all of those times.  It is up to each teacher to log in and block out any times that 
they are unavailable before and after school.  By default, the school day is blocked off as UNAVAILABLE. 
Please block off your available times by Friday January 25th.

You will find a list of room assignments when you click on this link: PTC Room Assignments  
Teams are currently scheduled together in the same room.  Some other teachers have been scheduled together in rooms because of the lack of rooms for everyone.  If you would rather be alone, I may be able to work something out.
Please let me know.

The link for teachers is https://sau25bhs.ptcwizard.com/admin  - this can also be accessed from home.
Please be sure you have blocked off times you are UNAVAILABLE so those slots will not look open for parent 
signups.  

Step-By-Step Instructions:
2) Enter username, it is your email address (i.e. lunnk@sau25.net)    
*For team logins, I will send a separate email with your login information
3) Enter password, same as your network address (see me if any problems)
4) Click on Conferences 
5) Click on the 1st conference day:  MondayFeb 11, 2013 and set times you're available/unavailable
6) Click on the 2nd conference day: Tuesday, Feb 12, 2013 and set times you're available/unavailable
7) Click on the 3rd conference day:  WednesdayFeb 13, 2013 and set times you're available/unavailable
7) Click on the 4rth conference day:  Thursday, February 14, 2013 and set times you're available/unavailable
8) The parents will see the date & times you are available and will sign up accordingly.  
9) Once parents have signed up, their names will appear on your conference days, and there is an option to print 
    on the top right 
    "Click here to print this schedule"

NOTE:
The parent portal link will be available for signups on Monday, January 28, 2013: https://sau25bhs.ptcwizard.com/authenticate/?redirect=user 
It is important that you have blocked off your availability before the portal is opened for parent signups, 
otherwise all open times are fair game.
The portal will remain open to parents until ThursdayFebruary 7, 2013 at 5PM CST. 

Thanks.
