Office of Educational Technology
​
No changes to the Online Interventions Module are planned for the next school year! You may continue doing your great work in SchoolNet without fear of learning a new system! Please note that all academic and attendance plans should be created using the group plan process. They should not be created using the individual plan process. All Behavior plans should be created using the individual plan process and not the group plan process.
​
End of year procedures:
Do not close plans early, if not necessary. The system will close all plans after school is out. Continue to enter plan data to the end of the school year.
Please pass this information on to all users in your building.
Behavioral Health Services and Early Childhood
There will be changes made to the interventions for Behavioral Health Services in the SchoolNet system for SY16-17. Once these additions and changes are made, schools will be aware of the changes in the Fall of 2016.
​
The office of Early Childhood plans to follow curriculum's updates regarding new resources.
