AK Star
The new state summative assessment is coming quickly into view. While the testing season will be mostly fit the month of April, tech preparations have already begun. All district Chromebooks that meet the requirements for testing have been prepped and are ready to go.

NWEA MAP

The MAP testing window is currently open. SISD Tech works hard in the background to upload information out of PowerSchool into each testing system.

Student Information System

As SISD works to streamline and improve its processes, systems audits are being done with vendor assistance to highlight areas that can be improved or better utilized.

Powerschool, our student information system, is one area of focus we hope to improve utilization at all user levels; administrators, teachers, students, and parents.

PowerSchool Registration

SISD is working to streamline the student registration process for families and staff. Utilizing a digital registration system will reduce manual work and increase access to information in the database. This will help SISD be more nimble and responsive to our families and situations that may arise.

During the past 3 months the Tech Dept has been working through the Technological Debt accrued by SISD over the years. We have a selection of equipment that can no longer meet the needs of the district and we will be pursuing a sale.
