Daily Bulletin

We have created a new Professional Learning HUB which allows you to be able to apply for your Professional Learning, review your applications, check your PLA balance and PLA expenses you have incurred. The page is individualized so you only see your own balance. With the help of AI we’ve also created a website on the front of the hub for you to search Professional Learning opportunities.

Dear Secondary staff, over the last few days, I have made many timetable updates on Veracross, the system that powers our ManageBac class lists. However, some of those updates are not syncing with ManageBac making some class lists incorrect. If a student tells you that I have changed their class, please let them stay and just email me so that I can look into it as we solve the sync issue.

Thank you and sorry for the confusion!
Sara

Best wishes,

Clara
