SIS Manager Group: First Meeting Feb. 11

A new SIS manager support group will be starting up this month. Three experienced SIS managers (Kendra Wolf of A-D-M, Sandra Lathum of Norwalk, and Cathy Fitzgerald from Ames) are going to help get the group organized. This support will come in three main forms:

1) a number of face-to-face meetings held at central locations at strategic times of the year -- the dates of these meetings will be determined by the members of the group.

2) a number of online meetings using the Zoom video conference software -- the dates of these online meetings will be determined by the members of the group.

3) a listserv, similar to the ones used by the tech coordinator and tech integration groups.

The first meeting will be held via Zoom on Feb. 11 from 9:30-11 a.m. The first part of the meeting will focus on State reporting, including the new Civil Rights reporting requirements. If you are unable to attend this first online meeting, a summary of what was discussed will be posted to the listserv. (Please note that this first meeting date is changed from the original plan of Jan. 23.)

More information will be sent in the next week about how to log in to Zoom meetings, as well as how to join the listserv. We hope this new group will provide strong support to its members, in the same way that our tech coordinator group functions.

If you have questions, contact Lance Wilhelm, Director of Technology at (800) 255-0405, ext. 14324.
