There is not a whole lot of news from the district to report to you today. It being Saturday, I suppose that is not unexpected. I will continue to update here as information becomes available. It might bear checking up to twice a day (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) to make sure you are up to date.
I have completed enrolling all of my students in the online Texas History course on Edgenuity. I noticed that many of my students have been in enrolled in their Science and Language Arts classes as well. I'm sure the teachers of the other subjects will be getting this done soon as well. IF you have received the district email regarding Edgenuity and how to log in, you should be able to see the number of courses in which your child has been enrolled. If you see that Texas History is missing, please let me know. You can leave a comment to this post, on Remind, or email me at Michael.mayes@killeenisd.org. I will go back int the system and see if I can correct the problem.
I still have no additional information on what to do if you do not have sufficient technology in the home to complete the course work; I'm sure that will be forthcoming. Just hang in there.
Online work is scheduled to begin on Wednesday 3/25, so please make sure to get your child signed up and test your log-in capabilities. Mainly, I am concerned about students forgetting their passwords. The password should be the same one they use to log-in at school when they attend a class in one of our computer labs. If you have trouble, contact me via the means already mentioned and I can have our Campus Technologist reset your student's password. I anticipate a LOT of requests for this, so I highly recommend attempting to log-in to Edgenuity as soon as possible to make sure you do not have any issues. Requests for password resets will be taken in the order in which they are received, so you want to "be first in line," if this is an issue so as not to fall behind once the work starts.
I know this seems overwhelming; I feel it, too. However, as I believe I mentioned a day or two ago, the process is very front-heavy. Once the kinks are worked out and everyone is enrolled and can log-in things should run relatively smoothly. I will be setting up a time early next week when I will be online and available for questions in as close to real time as I can manage. In the meantime, please go through the steps outlined in the emails and try to get your student where they can log-in successfully.
More updates as I receive information. Take care and stay well.
