All teachers should post important course information on their “Class Info<\/strong>” pages available to students and parents within Synergy.<\/p>

If a teacher’s needs extend beyond that, this page offers more information on options available to LPS staff members.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Class Information Pages in Synergy<\/strong><\/h3>

Information students and parents need about courses\/classrooms.<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Class Information pages are available in ParentVUE and StudentVUE within the “Grade Book (6-12), Class Information (PK-12)” area. Only students (and their parents) enrolled in classes currently being taught can access the Grade Book\/Class Information tab in Synergy.<\/p>

Basic “Class Info” page content is pre-created for teachers by curricular specialists in a Google Doc that may be embedded within Synergy. Learn how to find and embed this content by reviewing this helpful resource<\/a>.\u00a0Teachers can get started by logging into Synergy and navigating to\u00a0Grade Book > Course Content > Class Information<\/strong>.<\/p>

To provide information above and beyond what\u00a0Class Information offers, teachers may create an additional web presence using one of the tools listed below. Students and parents should be directed to any additional resources via links added to Class Information in Synergy.<\/p>

Note:<\/strong> Class Information in Synergy should be reviewed\/updated at the beginning of each term taught.<\/em><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What else can I use?<\/h3>

Class Info in Synergy is the place to start. It is possible, however, that teachers may want or need more than these tools can offer.<\/p>

PLEASE UNDERSTAND:<\/strong> <\/span>There is a constantly growing and changing list of easy to use web page creation tools available on the Internet. You may feel that some are easier to use than others, or look nicer, or create more “engaging” content for students. However, for consistency of school to home communications and protection of LPS content, it is important that information published to a web communication tool be restricted to the tools on this page.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

About Social Media…<\/h3>

Building accounts:<\/strong> All official social media accounts for the building (including sports teams, extracurricular groups, etc.) should be coordinated through the school office and LPS Communications Department.<\/p>

Personal accounts:<\/strong> Many teachers have turned to social media tools to build their professional learning network.\u00a0Always remember that when identifying yourself online as an LPS employee, you are representing ALL OF US. Make us proud. Remember that social media tools are public facing tools, and the audience may include your students, parents, community members, supervisors, administrators, as well as FUTURE students, parents, administrators.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\"GoogleJust as curricular specialists create Google Docs of content that can be embedded in Synergy Class Info pages, staff may use the same strategy to create their own Google Docs of information. In theory, the same instructions shared here will help a teacher embed ANY Google Doc into Synergy Class Info. Your parents will appreciate it if you keep all your information in one place!<\/p>

Consider these ideas to improve your resource for parents:<\/span><\/p>
