Get a Jump-Start on Back-to-School Training

In high school, did anyone else leave their summer reading list until the very last minute? (I won’t tell your students!) I certainly did. Spending my final weeks of the break completing required reading was never a fun way to close out the summer.

Now that we’re a bit older and a bit wiser, let’s brush up on our “reading list” throughout the summer months. Blackbaud University has all the trainings you need to prepare for the back-to-school season!

Whether you’re new to Blackbaud’s K–12 education management portfolio or just looking for a refresher, here are a few of the summer’s hottest topics:

• User Management | eLearning / K-12 Core
  • Over the summer months, you’ll probably need to add many new users to your school’s database. To save time, you can use a data import to add users in bulk and update their records. Discover how to add new users and check for duplicate users in the system.

• Annual Procedures – Part 1 | eLearning / K-12 Core
  • When you’re ready to flip your database to the new school year, there are a number of tasks that need to be completed. Did you know that, using the Master Rollover process, you can transfer many of your settings from one year to the next? Learn which information can be rolled over in a few easy clicks!

• Scheduling | eLearning / K-12 Academics
  • Building your school’s schedule requires careful planning. Luckily, the system includes an automatic scheduling tool that can help design the schedule and enroll students in classes. Check out which details need to be configured in order to maximize the results of the automatic scheduling tool.
