It may be October, so “Back to School” is more likely “When is the next vacation day?” However, it’s still worth noting that we do have a slew of back to school resources for teachers in numerous locations. If you’re reading this then you’re already in the Help Center for Blackbaud Education Management, which is a great place to start!
Back-To-School Made Easier
Eagle eyed users may have also seen a new link within the My Day: Schedule and Performance area of Faculty. Next, under Related links you’ll see a link called Back-to-School Resources. Select that and you’ll be taken to our dedicated resource page with guides, relevant help topics, and plenty more. Alternatively, you can find it here as well.
Get Ready for Contract Season!
Next up, let’s talk contracts! Believe it or not, contract season is right around the corner and it’s always best to be prepared as soon as possible. For you longtime readers, we’ve put together a 3 part series providing an overview and some tips for the entire process. Prepare for your journey by looking at Part 1 right here.
Tutorials!
Finally, if you’re in need of more detailed walkthroughs and guides, why not take a look at our Tutorials section. What can you find there? Our tutorial web pages mix step by step actions with visual descriptions to provide a workflow of the process. Topics range from some of the more in-depth operations in BBEM like Grading setup, Scheduling, Pushpage, Reapplying students, and plenty more.
Quick Update
That’s going to do it for this week, but we hope you found this journal helpful. Just a quick side note, we’re hoping to get back to video production soon, we’re currently undergoing some overhauls and maintenance behind the scenes, which is why the content has slowed to a crawl. Same with the journals, we’re aiming to be a bit more consistent with new updates, so thanks for sticking with us for the time being! More to come soon!
