HS/MS Master Scheduling Training 2024
Trainings will be held via Zoom and in-person at the Central Enrollment Computer Lab as noted.
Everyone is welcome to attend any session below (more than once if you wish). Some have asked for recommendations on courses they should take. Because the Scheduling Board is new (replacing the Schedule Wizard), this is a course that everyone doing master scheduling should take. We also recommend everyone take the Student Course Requests course, as we will discuss the process for getting requests from SchooLinks.
Courses highlighted in red below have already occurred. Those courses that are held via Zoom have their recordings posted here shortly after the conclusion of the class.
