My background includes almost 30 years in public education. Most of that was in school administration. Now, I write and speak on organization and time management across the United States and internationally. My passion is making life easier for other people. My specialty is using technology to meet that aim.
My affiliation with Stride comes from a long-held interest in how we can use technology to automate routine tasks. We all need more time to teach. Effective use of technology is one way we can do that.
What to do now
Two things. First, in the sidebar, look for a place to put your email address. Watch your email inbox for a message to verify your request, and you are done! Every time a new post appears here, it will also show up in your email.
That means you don't have to remember to come back to this blog. It doesn't become "one more thing to do." (All of us have too many of those already.)
All of the information about Stride that you need to know during the year will show up in your email.
Second, continue reading the rest of this article. It contains information applicable to every Stride school throughout the country. Yes, it's a program available in all 50 states.
The articles talk about what will be happening in the next several days.
Once the annual archive is complete, Corey Murray will populate classes for Calhoun County. I am presently working with the central office in Birmingham City about a plan for getting student names into classes.
Scheduled Stride Downtime Aug. 10–13 | |
Please be advised that the Stride online learning program will be unavailable from 5 PM CST on Friday, Aug. 10, until the early hours of Monday, Aug. 13, 2018. This period of downtime will be scheduled for implementing significant enhancements to the Stride program. These enhancements include new questions, new skill review activities, and new games!
ANNUAL DATA ARCHIVE
The annual data archive will also take place during this time, providing a clean slate in your account for the upcoming school year. If your school or organization selected to opt out of the archive, your data will remain untouched.
ENHANCEMENTS COMING MONDAY
We look forward to revealing exciting new features in your Stride account! Look for a follow-up message on the morning of Monday, Aug. 13, when access to Stride will be restored. At that time, please be sure to use your new Stride login codes to access your account.
NEW LOGIN CODES
Login codes are being refreshed to indicate your state abbreviation. For example, if your school is located in Alabama and your current login is KCC12345, your new login code will be ALC12345. To look up your new login codes for student, teacher, and administrator-level access, please utilize our handy lookup tool: https://www.stridelogin.
