The Zangle Summer School Setup training originally scheduled for Thursday, June 25th, Friday, June 26th, and Monday, June 29th has been canceled.

Two new Setup classes have been added:

Due to a myriad of unavoidable circumstances, teacher assignments will not be completed and Student Enrollment records will not be placed in the proper tracks in time for the original training dates.

Important: The IT Dept requests that any school site hosting Summer School during Summer Session II refrain from manually enrolling any student into their U-Track until ITcompletes the upload on July 8th.

1. In the Student Editor application, the student must have at least one contact with the Elem. SBRC flag turned on. Make sure there is a check in the box!

2. When selecting a date for printing the report card, the Effective date for Schedule must be set to a date within the term, so for Traditional track schools, that means it must be June 15 or before. See the screenshot below. If you prefer, set your System Date back to the last day of the term so you won’t have to change the Effective date for schedule since it defaults to the System Date.

3. If the student has changed classes, uncheck Print Course Teacher. See the screenshot below. This should show each teacher’s marks separately on the report card.

If you have any questions please contact your IT On-Site Support representative.

Zangle Elementary Master Schedule Building training classes are now available. Before registering for a class, please watch the new online tutorials for Elementary Master Schedule Building. You may be able to get the information you need from watching a tutorial or two. These mini-movies cover such topics as adding new faculty, creating a master schedule in Zangle, and adding students to classes. You can view them anytime and anywhere you have a computer with internet access. Go to the Zangle eLearning webpage to watch: http://www.sandi.net/zangle/readandlearn/elearning/emsb/.
Make it a favorite on your internet browser! Tell your friends! Make some popcorn and have a Zangle movie night!

If after watching the tutorials you still feel that some hands-on instruction would benefit you, please view our training calendars and register for a class on the Zangle Training webpage: http://www.sandi.net/zangle/training/. Please be sure to review the list of required materials to bring to class.

If you have any questions, please contact your On-Site Support representative.

This message is intended for Zangle Power Users at Elementary and Middle school sites that are sending or hosting summer school during second session. High Schools are to ignore because High Schools have already completed this task.

There is a new Job Aid posted on the Zangle Read and Learn Site intended for Elementary/Middle: Tagging Summer School Students. Please download and follow the procedure.

Note: This procedure is different from any other procedure performed in previous years!

Your school could have students who will attend another school for Summer School. It is necessary that Elementary and Middle schools tag these students in their own 08-09 T-Track (regular school year track) by June 5, 2009. The I.T. Department will then extract these tagged students and enroll them in the appropriate Summer School tracks.

You only need to tag students that will attend another school for Summer School. If your school is open for Summer School, you do not need to tag your own students; they will automatically be enrolled in your Summer School track by I.T.

Important: You will need to follow this procedure for your VEEP, Magnet, and Program Improvement students who decide to attend their School of Residence (neighborhood school) during Summer School.

I.T. will set up all Elementary and Middle Summer School tracks by June 8, 2009. Schools signed up for Zangle Summer School Setup training will have their track available on the day of training.

If you have any questions, please contact your On Site Support Team Member or the Summer School Office: 619 725-7139.

The default report settings have been changed on the Address To tab as follows:

Three new Zangle Online Tutorials have been created just in time to help with the process of building elementary master schedules. We've added these 3 to our growing list of eLearning modules that SDUSD employees have access to anytime, anywhere for help on how to use district-wide applications.

eLearning modules are mini-movies with audio narration that step you through the use of a specific software feature. You can run these tutorials on your computer at work, at home, or anywhere you have internet access.

These new tutorials are custom-designed to guide SDUSD employees on the use of Zangle Elementary Master Schedule Building components. The three new eLearning modules are:

To use the tutorials, please go online to the eLearning section of our Zangle Training website:

Effective Monday, May 18, 2009, a new report will be available in the Mark Reporting module: Honor Roll Eligibility List. This report can help secondary schools using Zangle Mark Reporting to identify students who qualify for each Honor Roll rule selected. This report can be useful for checking the eligibility of students for extracurricular programs where both academic GPA and citizenship GPA must be taken into consideration. In the latest version of the Mark Reporting handbook (version 4.0), directions are provided for using this report to determine athletic eligibility.

Zangle FrontOffice users in the following permission sets will be able to run the Honor Roll Eligibility List report:

Recently, the IT Department made changes in Zangle allowing all nurses to have district-wide access. District nurses now have full access to Health information at all schools and read-only access to other pertinent information. This access is provided by an IT process so nurses do not have to request access at individual school sites.

As a result of the extended permissions, nurses now see a new application called Immunizations, and this has caused some confusion. This application is read-only and will not allow nurses to print or edit. Nurses should still use Immunization Entry (Immun Entry) to enter and print student immunizations.

Tip! To find a school cost center easily from the list of all schools, click once on any school in the list, and then quickly type the school cost center you want, including any leading zeros. For example, if you want to find Serra High, quickly type 0357.

Tip! Not sure what a school’s cost center is? Click here to go our Site Location Directory. It is a six page document listing all schools in the district. It is in numerical order and also gives the phone number of the school, grade levels at the school, and whether it is Traditional or Single-Track.

If you have any questions, please contact your school’s Zangle Power User or On-Site Support representative. Thank you.
