No More SASI

Our district has made a change from operating with SASI to Power School. All teachers complete grade cards, attendance, etc from this system. Administrators and office personnel enter and receive reports on discipline, attendance. enrollment, scheduling, lunch, and more. It is so fitting that I am taking a tech course that focuses on the NETS-A standards and how difficult change and keeping progressive with technology is. It is very time consuming when everyone's system is changing, not just a small group within the district. Questions are running rampant from all users and I am beginning to see that it takes a bit of time to work out all of the kinks. There is no way to foresee all the fumbles and trials until you begin. As you implement and actually use the technology, you start seeing where changes are still needing to be made. My thoughts are with the programmers and the newbies feeling unsure. I know it will take some time, but soon enough we'll all be pros when in comes to using Power School.
