Back-to-School for Administrators

Welcome Administrators!

We are so glad you are here! The checklist below will help you get your account ready for the new school year.

Have you scheduled your professional development? Check out our Professional Development Catalog to explore a variety of workshops and targeted sessions available. Training days during back-to-school season are in high demand. Schedule any necessary training as far in advance as possible to ensure you get your requested date.

Getting started

Check the End-of-year data management page for step-by-step instructions on how to perform each of the following actions. These should be performed before the start of the new school year and should not overlap with any summer school programs.
