Beginning April 2022, TTSD will implement a new security setting on TTSD laptops and computers. Users will need to request admin permission through the AdminByRequest application that you will find on the Dock (Mac) or the toolbar (PC).  Requesting the admin permission will elevate your account to a temporary member of the local administrator's group for a limited period of time under full audit. Why is This Needed? Most cyber security scams are successful because when scammers reach the computer, they have FULL admin rights to run any malicious program they want. In order to protect the district from cyber crime, TTSD's cybersecurity insurance policy requires that our computer users not have administrator access. How to Request Admin Access with Admin By Request 1. When you encounter a process that asks for the administrator's name and password like below, Do NOT enter your username and password ...YET.  2. Instead, click the Admin By Request icon on the Dock (Mac) or the toolbar (PC) to request a protected administrator session. Mac PC Or your icon for Admin by Request might look like this on your dock: 3. Click Yes. Fill in the information and click Continue That's it! You will see a count down. During this time, your account has admin permission.

How to back up your Mac or PC using Google's Drive for Desktop software.  The Google Drive for Desktop is a replacement for Google Backup & Sync app. Starting July 2021, TTSD staff will switch over to this new application to sync their selected data to Google for backup purposes.  Important: Google Drive for Desktop is a syncing solution. It will try to keep your selected computer folders in sync with Google Drive. If you delete a file on your computer, it will be deleted from the backup immediately as well. The installation is a 2-Parts process.  Part 1: Open Google Drive for Desktop app macOS Windows Locate Google Drive for Desktop in your Applications folder Once installed, click Sign in with browser (TTSD email and password) Google Drive for Desktop application is installed on your new Windows PC.

Firefox and Chrome both offer the ability to sync your bookmarks and other settings if you are signed in to the browser. This effectively serves as a backup of this information, so there is no need to back this information up via Google Backup and Sync. Signing in to Firefox or Chrome on a different computer will automatically restore your bookmarks and other settings. Visit each browsers' preference/settings screen to turn on syncing if you would like to preserve this information. Check in with your building tech if you need help with this process.

Assigning Alternative Health Lessons for Grade 2-5 Note: Raz does NOT automatically assign these resources to students who have been opted out after 1/31/24. They will need to be assigned to the new students individually. This article walks through the steps for assigning the alternative health lessons for grades 2-5 in Raz-Plus (Learning A-Z). Students in grades K-1 will have lessons automatically assigned through Seesaw. This article contains four sections: Assigning the resources to students after the 1/31 opt out date Adding the resource folders to your Raz-Plus account Assigning the resources to students Troubleshooting common issues. The Raz-Plus alternative health lessons have been put into folders and shared under the school AP/Dean’s name for ease of assigning to students. Below are the directions for adding the folders to your account and assigning the resources to students.  If you are an AP/Dean, the folders have already been added to your account and you can skip to the Assigning Resources section. Dean/AP: Assigning Resources After 1/31 Opt-Out Deadline Log into Learning A-Z from your Clever portal and click on Raz-Plus in the upper left corner. Raz-Plus will open. Click on File Cabinet from the pink bar. The folders are organized by grade level. Click on the Alternative Health Lesson folder for the grade you need to assign. With the folder open, click on the edit button. The assign page will open. You need to assign the resources to individual students from the student list. Do not use the Assign by Groups section, it will not work for newly added students. Once you have made your selection, click the green Update Assignment button at the bottom of the screen. All the resources in the folder will be assigned to the students you selected. Repeat for other grade level assignments as needed. Note: Raz does NOT automatically assign these resources to students who have been opted out after 1/31/24. They will need to be assigned to the new students individually. Adding the Alternative Health Lesson folders to your Raz account Log into the Learning A-Z app from your Clever portal. Click on Raz-Plus from the upper left hand corner of the screen. Raz-Plus will open. Click on File Cabinet from the pink bar. Now that the file cabinet is open, click on Shared Files From the left side menu, click on the arrow next to your school’s name, the arrow by your AP/Dean, and then click on the Alternative Health Lesson folder for your grade. The folder will open in the center of the screen. Click on the blue Copy Folder button. Assigning the Resources Log into Learning A-Z from your Clever portal and click on Raz-Plus in the upper left corner. Raz-Plus will open. Click on File Cabinet from the pink bar. The folders are organized by grade level. Click on the Alternative Health Lesson folder for the grade you need to assign. With the folder open, click on Assign Resources. If the folder has already been assigned, you will need to push the Edit button to assign the resources to new students (See screenshot below).  The assign page will open. Make sure that all three lesson activities are selected (Listen, Read, Quiz). You need to assign the resources to individual students from the student list. Once you have made your selection, click the green Assign e-Resources button at the bottom of the screen. All the resources in the folder will be assigned to the students you selected. Repeat for other grade level assignments as needed. Note: Raz does NOT automatically assign these resources to students who have been opted out after 1/31/24. They will need to be assigned to the new students individually. Troubleshooting Common Issues: Students Aren’t showing up on the class list in Raz-Plus: Once a student is added to the Alternative Health section in Synergy, it takes up to 24 hours for them to sync and show up in Raz-Plus. If it has been longer than 24 hours, please put in a tech ticket. A placement test opens instead of the resources: Students who are using Raz-Plus for the first time will need to take a placement test before the resources will show in their assignment list. The Placement Tool will show as the only option when they click on My Assignments. Resources are showing as completed for some 5th grade students: Students in 5th grade who opted out of lessons last year will see the same resources they may have completed the year before. They will be able to re-read the books and take the quiz again.  If you are having difficulty assigning the resources to students, please put in a tech ticket.
