Does FACTS finally have SSO support yet, and is anyone using it? With the recent push for MFA every 24 hours, staff is getting annoyed. We would like to relinquish back control over the login process, as well as simplify login; for staff and preferably students. We're what I like to call an "Everything" shop in terms of IDP. We have AD, Entra, Google, and Duo (On-Prem AD is the source of truth…
We are a Google environment. I have one user with an iPhone Xr that keeps getting the error message "Your Apple Account does not support the expected services on this device." No one else has this issue, I have double checked all of our settings against the Apple documentation and they check out. No one else has this issue. Additionally I attempted to sign in with my account and received the same…
Hello, I took over a small private school's SysAdmin role which includes their PowerSchool SIS. Looks like their former PowerSchool admin/registrar entered everything by hand for new students (problem to solve later); and so when I was updating the emails of parents under: Student Profile>Contacts>Contact Management and adding mom and dad's emails, it swaps only a handful of siblings? 5th graders…
Hi all, sysadmin (part-time, wearing many hats) at a small school trying to make a sensible call on a laptop refresh. Would appreciate some input. Small school, ~10 new teacher laptops. Comparing: Dell Pro 14, Ryzen 5 220, 16GB/256GB for €1080 , 5-year off-site support, accidental damage flat-fee €50 Framework 12, Core 5, 16GB for €1200 , only 2-year warranty, but everything's user-replaceable.…
One I haven't seen before. I use groups for each class/grade to simplify the invite process for the teachers. Students members, teachers managers. All addresses are internal to our domain. It's been working for years this way. This year, one homeroom teacher does her invite, and GC only shows the co-teachers as invited. I set up a test class on my own and duplicated the result (Yes, I made sure I…
We just started with Ubiquiti and I set up our guest network to use vouchers. I was able to create 10 vouchers that last 8hrs. However, I have a dumb question. Where do we go to actually print the vouchers? submitted by /u/kcalderw [link] [comments]
My classrooms have Viewsonic IFPs with a Windows VPC. Admin has asked about Document cameras for the teachers to use. Any recommendations on brand or special features? I believe that the myViewboard software will allow document camera use within the software, so teachers do not have to change inputs submitted by /u/Temporary_Werewolf17 [link] [comments]

I work for a k12 private school and we have come across a recent ish issue on our campus. We have a program our school provides called Flex where kids k through 12 can take all their classes online (+ have 1 or 2 in person ie. art, band etc). The program is completely BYOD. Our full time in person students get iPads. The other cool thing about this Flex program is that it allows the students to…
I am in the process of purchasing a 2-in-1 Chromebook for staff to trial as we look at replacements for their desktop + touchscreen monitor. I was debating between the Acer Chromebook Plus 714 Spin or the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 14". I plan to also purchase a pen for the device. My problem is trying to find a reseller for the consumer version, as it is half the price of the enterprise…
