💡 Current Technology Updates
⇒ PowerSchool App: PowerSchool support completed a refresh on our mobile app registration. Users experiencing error messages when opening the PowerSchool App need to log out and log back into the app to get rid of the error message.
⇒ EveryDay Math Games: McGraw-Hill is working on EDM game issues where students are unable to hit certain buttons. We will continue to keep you posted on updates. We have found this temporary workaround:
We have seen some success accessing EDM Games using Canvas in Chrome Webclip on the iPad. We also found the below work-around for students experiencing issues with EDM games. When students come to the game screen to select the color profile click on the "aA" in the URL bar. Then select "Request Mobile Website."
After you do this, hit the back browser on your button. And you should come back to the "Start" screen. Hit start again, and this time you should be able to select the Color Profiles. If you are still having issues, please create a HelpDesk Ticket.As of Monday, September 12th, we received the following email from McGraw Hill, "Unfortunately I do not have anything at this time. Our Academic Design team has had to reach out to the vendor that helps provide those games and they are awaiting for more information from them. I do not have any estimated timeline to provide right now, but I will provide you with an update as soon as I get it. Thanks!"⇒ WiFi issues: Ensure Private Address is turned off all connected networks by going to...1. Settings > WiFi > NSC_Corp
