Dear MS Parents,
For the startup of the new school year, we will be offering parent tech training to familiarize yourself with online systems we use at ISB, as well being prepared to support your child when the laptops come home. We welcome suggestions for each session. If you have some ideas or topics you would like covered please let me know when you fill out the registration form. In general, all sessions will be the same and will mainly focus on PowerSchool, Haiku, Campus Card, Parent Controls, recommendations for using the laptops at home, and some applications to help students’ use of the laptop. There is a limited capacity for 32 parents per session, so please sign up early (If there is demand, we will run extra sessions). All sessions will be in MPB 3.
To register for the session visit: https://bit.ly/isbmstraining16.
Requirements for the session:
– The student laptop and the charger just in case. If you are unable to bring the student laptop please indicate it in the registration form and I will prepare in advance to provide some spare laptops for the session.
– Parent PowerSchool login (you should have received this by email, or for existing parent you already have it)
– Parents need to request an administrator account from Ed Tech by visiting: https://bit.ly/parentadmin. Students will have to take their laptops to Ed Tech so that the account can be created before you show up to the session.
Please do this in advance as it takes some time to set these accounts and we not just want to be able to cover as much as possible during the sessions, but also have more time to talk and answer questions.
Should you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me via email or come to see me at the Coaches Office in the first floor of the MS building.
Looking forward to seeing you.
