1. Adding Pictures to Google Drive
If you are a teacher who uses iPads to take pictures, there are two options to move your photos from the iPad. Please click here for directions on using Google Drive for picture files (to save and/or to print). *Reminder, please remove pictures and videos from the iPads when they are no longer needed.
2. PowerTeacher Gradebook Email Function is now operational.
After a tremendous amount of research, the e-mail functionality is operational within PowerTeacher Gradebook. This function will allow you to e-mail parents that have inputted their information into the PowerSchool Portal, and should send you a copy of that e-mail within your Pennridge e-mail account. Please see the tutorial developed by Cara Gurysh, the Media and Technology Integrator at Pennridge High School.3. Safety and Security (contributed by Diane Miller, Director of Technology)
I want to ensure that everyone is aware of and
comfortable with the paging capabilities and the emergency button on the new
Cisco VoIP system.
Paging
Paging is accessible from each phone in the district by
dialing a 6-digit extension. The codes for all-call building wide paging
are listed below. It is your building code + 5501. Deibler is
different as they are set up to do some additional zone paging. The DAO is part
of the HS paging system and can be reached separately or as part of the High
School.
- Bedminster – 535501
- Deibler – 545506 – *different than other schools*
- Grasse – 555501
- Guth – 975501
- Sellersville – 985501
- Seylar – 525501
- West Rockhill – 605501
- Central – 705501
- North – 855501
- South – 995501
- High School – 115501
- District Administration Office – 115502
- High School and District Administration Office – 115503
Once you dial the extension, you will hear several tones and
you can begin to speak. This can be done from an admin phone or a
classroom phone. It is even possible to page between buildings.
Please make sure all staff members know the
building all-call number.
Emergency Button
The classroom phones have an Emergency Button
programmed. This is NOT for 911 emergency calls. This
button rings multiple phones including the principal/vice
principal/secretary/security (HS) in your building. It is to be used when
someone has to be reached QUICKLY in the event of a classroom/hallway emergency
that does not require an immediate 911 call. Once someone picks up the
phone, the other phones will cease ringing. The person who picked
up first now ‘owns’ the call and should take the necessary actions to deal with
the situation. If an event occurs where you have to call 911
directly, you may do so by either dialing 911 or 8911. The
Emergency Button should not be used as a speed dial to get to the front office.
Click here for an Excel sheet listing those employees who
receive the emergency call in each building. The phone display will
show Classroom xxx – Emergency.
