We will review the step by step procedures for setting up, building and analyzing a master schedule using Mass Scheduling. Discussion will include constraints that will affect your schedule, the order in which sections will be scheduled, the balancing of seats, sections and planning periods. We will also cover the timing (when) and process for moving from Mass Scheduling to Basic/Walk-in Scheduling.

This class will show the user how to create courses, add sections, add students to classes and remove students from classes. This class is for elementaries wanting to use schedules.

In this class we will review the entire scheduling process, timeline, and scheduling calendar for the new school year, including: types of schedules, preliminary tasks, New Year Rollover, the student registration process, getting student requests into SASI, tally and staffing, building/analyzing/balancing a schedule, and moving from Mass Scheduling to Basic\Walk-in Scheduling for the New School Year.

We will review the process for using the course tally report in Mass Scheduling and SSS104X – Course Tally Worksheet to determine which courses and how many sections of each course will be taught next year. The tally of sections will then be used to help determine staffing needs for the new school year by using the schools department and seniority list.

We will review the process for informing students and parents about selecting courses for the new school year using: graduation requirements, course catalogue, course selection sheets and course history files to guide the selection process. We will also discuss creating a timeline and calendar for the registration process. The use of the different processes for entering student requests into SASI including data entry, drag and drop, mass assigning courses, using SSS100X – MISD Interactive Course Selection Process (High Schools), or using SSS108X – MISD Course Selection Builder (Middle Schools).

This course is designed for Building personnel who will be responsible for entering course requests for Middle School students into the SASI Scheduling Atom. The topics covered will be the set-up and use of SSS108X program. This may involve editing of the Course File.

We will cover how to run reports, determine which students have conflicts or are missing requests, help identify classes (sections) to resolve conflicts or fill open periods, how to fix conflicts and open periods, how to update class size, how to know if there is room in a section for a student, locking and un-locking sections (pre-scheduling and removing pre-scheduling) in both Mass and Basic/Walk-in Scheduling.
