eSchool
In order for eSchool to set up your school year 2025-2026, please fill out the eSD School Setup Form and return it to them no later than June 30th. If you have already submitted your form, thank you.
Just a few quick reminders as we are preparing for next year, transfer students, and new registrations:
-
Remember to add the local school district for all new students to your school.
-
Mark all PK students as: Exclude From State Reporting and Exclude From State Attendance
-
All transfer students MUST use code 170 no matter the reason or where they are going.
eSchool does not charge when you enter your PK students into their system. They can and should be rostered just like any other HR class. This will in turn sync them with the STAR system for those of you who want to test them there. The only thing different from rostering PK as opposed to other classes is they need to be excluded from state attendance and reporting. Here is a worksheet I created to show you how to do that as a batch change.
STAR
Our next STAR Champion meeting is tomorrow, Wed. 6/18 from 12pm-1:30pm. We know this is a busy time with the final days of schools, but we look forward to seeing anyone who is available. We will be discussing how we managed regarding our goals this year.
Driver Safety Course
Ford Driving Skills for Life is part of Ford Philanthropy. They are offering a drivers safety course for newly permitted or licensed drivers at University at Buffalo, July 19-20. A flyer is attached with more information about the program. The course is completely free and helps young drivers identify and prepare for dangerous they may face on the roadway. This course has been offered in different areas of New York State in the past with great success.
Fond Farewell
I wanted to let everyone know that I have accepted a new position, and this is my last update. Thank you to everyone I have encountered over my years here. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in this department and this roll, and will carry great memories with me to my new position. Good luck with the next school year. You guys will do great!
I wish you all a very happy and relaxing summer!
