Quarter 3 New Students
Please be sure that you have reached out to any new students in your homeroom this quarter. Once you receive the green light from a FAST member, it is your responsibility to introduce yourself to the student and begin working with the family. Ensure that these contacts are logged in Pathways, selecting "WELCOME CALL" under the area of subject/focus. These calls should be done within 24 hours of receiving the green light email from the FAST Team.
Revert School Calendar
We need to make some corrections in the OLS with regard to attendance – the five days of non-instructional time between Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 are showing as missing attendance days for our students. Please follow the steps below to edit your homeroom students’ calendars.
Revert School Calendar
1) Click on Students> By Classroom > HS_ Your Homeroom
2) Click on Attendance> Click on Each of your HR students’ names individually.
3) Click on ‘Manage Student’s Schedule’.
4) Click on ‘Use School Calendar’ then click ‘Save’.
5) Click on each school day from January 28 – February 3 to mark these as “days off.” This will allow the student to not be marked as absent for these non-instructional days. Then click ‘Save’.
6) Repeat for each student.
Please let your HLT know if you need any help with this task!

Student Logged Time in Pathways
EXAMPLE: PW time of 1.92 Minutes=
The 1.92 translates to 1 hour and 55 minutes of system logged time. To translate the decimal part of the number, multiply it by 60. Here’s a good way to think of it:
- 1.92 means 1 hour + 0.92 of an hour
- Which is the same as 1 hour + 92% of an hour
- Or 1 hour + 92% of 60 minutes
- =1 hour + 55.2 minutes
- Rounded to the nearest minute = 1 hour 55 minutes
More examples:
0.63 = 38 minutes
4.15 = 4 hours 9 minutes
0.02 = 1 minute
* remember to round it after multiplying because Pathways starts with the number of minutes, divides by 60, and rounds it to get the decimal number. So you’re just reversing the process to turn it back into minutes.
