Zangle New Year Rollover

This is a reminder that we will be
performing the student information system (Zangle) rollover tomorrow, February
1st. This procedure will make students available for scheduling for the
2008-2009 school year. While the process does not require a complete
system shutdown, as in prior years, you may experience performance degradation
during the process. In order to be able to perform the rollover in an
efficient manner, please refrain from running reports and large queries on
2/01/08.
Thank you for your understanding. As always, should you have any
concerns or questions regarding this matter, please contact the Technology Help
Desk at ext. 7030.
Inputting Grades
1/30/08 2:00 pm
Just a reminder that when you put in
grades, you have to go to the last day of the semester (i.e. in Zangle Teacher
Connection, go to Marks, and change system date in left-hand corner to the last
day of the semester).

Zangle Front Office Marks Report

Zangle Front Office provides a report called "Class Marks Listing" to monitor
the completion of marks reporting by teachers.
Download the Quick
Reference for a step-by-step guide.
High School Progress Report 2 Window
09/25/2007 10:49 am
The High School Zangle Progress Report window will open tomorrow (September 26)
and will close on Wednesday, October 3. Teachers will no longer enter
their progress report or report card marks on a scan sheet, but instead will
enter them directly into Zangle using TeacherConnection.The Zangle Coaches on
each campus were offered training after school to learn the procedures for the
marks entry. A simple Quick Glance information sheet was distributed to
each coach to disseminate to the teachers as a reference (click
here to download). The document is in Microsoft Word format, so
if you feel it needs to be customized for your site, please feel free to do so.
Please note that some of the closing windows have been extended (click
here to download calendar). It was noted by some teachers that having
the window close on the last day of the Quarter and Semester made it hard to
assess the last day, and get it graded in time to enter into Zangle.
Middle School Progress Report 2 Window
09/25/2007 10:26 am
The Middle School Progress Report 2 Window closes tomorrow (September 26) at midnight. The information will be extracted from Zangle the following morning to be merged into the Progress Report to be mailed home to parents.

Zangle Downtime

We were unsuccessful in completing the ZANGLE upgrade scheduled last night due
to unforeseen problems encountered during the upgrade process. Therefore,
we will need to take ZANGLE down again tonight, Wednesday, September 12, 2007 at
4:30pm. During this downtime, the technology staff will be upgrading the
ZANGLE system to the current version so we may all benefit from the enhancements
that have been made to the system since we went live with Zangle in July.
Please ensure that all ZANGLE users are made aware of this downtime and are
logged off before 4:30pm. We apologize for any inconvenience this may
cause and thank you for your patience.

Zangle.

System Delays Anticipated 
08/23/2007 2:46 pm
Zangle may seem sluggish tomorrow (Friday, August 24th ) due to a
massive High School conversion from SASI to Zangle. Thank you in advance for
your patience in this matter.
SASI Now Available for Read-Only 
08/23/2007 9:22 am
SASI is back up and available for read-only access. That
means, you will be able to view information but not change anything.
Zangle High School Conversion 
08/09/2007 1:54 pm
We're giving SASI the boot! SASI will be unavailable on Thursday and Friday, August 23-24. On these days
we will be converting all high school data from SASI into the new student
information system. During the data imports Zangle may react slowly, but the system will remain available for all elementary and middle school sites. On Monday, August 27, Zangle will be available to all
sites, while SASI will be read-only (you will be able to view it but not update
it).
Zangle Process Report and Marks Module08/09/2007 1:54
pm
We are quickly approaching our next Zangle Implementation hurdle
entering student Progress Report information into Zangle. The first window
for the Middle Schools to enter student Progress Report data into Zangle will be
from August 17- 24th. There will not be any Scantron bubble sheets
from this point forward. All Progress Report data and Marks will be entered
into Zangle at the Middle School level. Teachers will need to be given
instructions/training (by their site Zangle Coach) on how to do this before the
August 17th window opens. (Click
here to download a copy of the Zangle Progress Report and Report Card
Calendar).
Zangle Coach Training: Progress Reports

08/09/2007 1:47 pm
To prepare Zangle Coaches to train
their site's teachers on how to enter their Progress Report data and Marks into Zangle,
we will be offering 2 different trainings. If you understand how to enter the
Progress Report data and Marks into Zangle from the Quick Glance
Progress Report/Marks, you are not required to attend
training. If you feel you need guidance, please feel free to sign up for one of
the trainings on eJourney.
The trainings will be
held on (please only sign up for only 1 training):
- Monday, August 13th from 2:30- 3:30
pm (District Office, John D. Piazza Building)
- Tuesday, August 14th from 2:30-3:30
pm (District Office, Building 1, Conference Room)
The Zangle Journey is Beginning
03/21/2007 2:14 pm
We are beginning to put a little Zangle into everything we do in the technology
department. Zangle will be our new student information system beginning on July
9, 2007. Data conversion from SASI to Zangle is no a small task. It takes many
hours and many meetings to think about Zangle set-up, rules for entry, usage and
training. To help with this daunting task, many sites and district office
experts have been asked to participate on the Zangle Implementation Team. These
experts will help set up Zangle to meet the needs of the individual users and
departments.
