Now that we’re heading back into our schools, I want to share some information to make your transition easier.
What should my student do with their Austin ISD device and/or hotspot?
-
Students will keep their existing district device (iPads for K-2 and Chromebooks for 3-6) as they transition back to their home campus.
-
You can return the hotspots to your home campus if they’re no longer needed at home.
How can my student and I access the BLEND courses from the fall semester?
-
Once the fall courses end, students can access the courses and content through the ‘Past Enrollments’ section of their courses list.
-
Here’s a guide that shows how to complete this process (Spanish guide).
How can my student and I access Seesaw activities from the fall semester?
Can my student access other digital tools during the winter break?
-
Access to other digital resources, such as portal, Dreambox, Imagine Learning, etc., will continue through Jan. 1, 2022.
-
All of your student’s information from these tools will move with them into their new classes once their transition in our district systems and tools is complete.
What else do I need to know about the transition to my student’s new class?
-
You may notice that your student’s enrollment into their in-person class may not be complete until the start of the spring semester.
-
During this transition, you may experience a small break in access while our systems and partners are transitioning your student to their new teacher and class.
-
Please note that our systems usually take 24-48 hours to process changes once they are entered into Frontline.
