Post-EOY letter

Hi all,

OK, we are rolled over. It was pretty smooth. :) Notes and next steps:

1. Like last year, I've prefilled the calendar such that all weekdays are in-session etc. Darlene, at your leisure, please turn off all the known holidays, in-service days, etc. No rush on this.

2. These are this year's grading terms:

Q1: 8/26/2021 - 10/22/2021

S1: 8/26/2021 - 1/14/2022

Q3: 1/15/2022 - 3/25/2022

S2: 1/15/2022 - 6/30/2022

Y1: 8/26/2021 - 6/30/2022

Please let me know if any of these dates are wrong (besides June which we always pad with extra days, of course.)

3. As in the past, I've copied last year's master schedule to this year. So now, you/we can reassign teachers to sections etc. We can and should delete sections that we know we won't need (I can assist) just to make things less messy. After sections and teachers are sorted out, you/we can mass-enroll kids.

4. Later, I will re-enable the parent portal, so that parents can still see the past year's final report cards.

5. We're between school years, and I have set the system to default to the next school year. On the admin side, you can change to the previous year, but parents and teachers cannot.

6. New families have portal access IDs assigned and enabled etc. but will need their usual letter with those credentials and instructions which I think Darlene does.
