GUARDIAN CONTACT REPORT
Teachers now have the ability to run a Guardian Contact Report in the Teacher Access Center. This report will display a list of student's guardian contacts with their name, relationship to the student, phone numbers, email address, and a Home Access Center account indicator. Please download the instructions below (this has also been included in an updated TAC User Guide available on the Aldine ISD Support Documents website)
FLIPGRID COMMENTS
As if one of our favorite tools couldn't get any better, it did! Check out the newest feature, Flipgrid comments using text or video, and it even utilizes the Immersive Reader.
Text comments allows students to have deeper conversations and collaborate with peers. It is excellent for feedback between peers, reflections, encouragement and more!
OFFICE HOURS
We will continue hosting office hours as our schedules allow for those of you needing to pop in and ask us questions! We will be adding the days and times to our Google calendar and inviting our school groups, so be sure to check your Google calendar!! It will not always be the same days or same times each week, the times will be dependent on our availability. Be on the lookout!
