Post #4: AI Guidelines, Classroom Panels, Student Chromebooks, PowerSchool Tips, Parent Square

**Note our new website should be going live on Monday, February 9th!

AI Guidelines: The district has approved the following Generative AI Use Guidelines. Student use at all 3 levels is included in the guidelines.

Note: Gemini for students has not been turned on for any level at this time. 

Classroom Panels: Please be sure to SHUT DOWN daily both your panel and the Chromebox that is attached to the back. The Chromebox is like a Chromebook. Both devices work at their best when they are shut down each night and started fresh each morning. 

Here are written shut-down directions for the panel and Chromebox. Please reach out with any questions. 

Chromebooks: Please make sure students are doing a full restart or shut down of their Chromebooks at least once a week. I am noticing Chromebooks freezing up when they are trying to install updates. 

PowerSchool Tips:

Clicking the people icon next to the student's name is a quick way to locate contact information.

Use Quick Lookup to access attendance data; (contact the front office for detailed tardy information)

1. Go to the student information card

2. Select a student

3. Click on Select Screens - Quick Lookup

Thank you to those who have jumped into Parent Square with very little training. The tech department is aware that more training is needed and will be working on materials soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please let me know. I'd be happy to attend a PLC or another convenient time to offer training and support.
