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

To help protect student, staff, and school data—and ensure compliance with China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL)—NIS has a process for reviewing new digital systems, applications, and platforms before they are adopted. The protocol requires new systems to be reviewed for data collection, security, cross-border transfers, vendor compliance, and, where required, a Personal Information Protection Impact Assessment (PIPIA) and CAC Standard Contract.

• Before using a new app, platform, or digital system, submit a System Adoption Request (SARF).
• Educational systems are reviewed by the appropriate educational leadership before moving to IT for data protection and technical review.
• Operational systems are reviewed by the Director of Operations before moving to IT.
• IT will review systems for PIPL compliance, data security, storage location, cross-border data transfers, and vendor requirements.
• Please do not enter student, staff, or family data into a new system until it has been approved.
• Not sure whether something needs review? Ask IT before signing up or uploading data.
