Approximately three weeks before the start of the Fall semester, the student data will be rolled over to reflect those students expected to be enrolled in the Fall. This will allow early communications to the Fall students. As student data is provided directly from MiSiS to Blackboard, the earlier student enrollment is entered in MiSiS, the eralier it will appear in Blackboard. Blackboard Teacher Accounts Blackboard Teacher accounts will be activated the day before the start of summer school. Student rosters will appear on the second day of summer school (a day after the first day of student attendance). The teacher accounts will be separate from the Fall and Spring accounts which will allow continued communication with Spring students and running of reports. The Summer Blackboard accounts will terminate at the end of summer school. Summer School Principal Access Summer school principals will receive the Blackboard Welcome Message for their summer assignments. The email will come from connectsupport@blackboard.com and may appear in the Inbox, Junk or Clutter folder. The summer accounts will remain active throughout the summer school and will terminate on the last day of summer school Important Notice: Updating Student Contact Notification in MiSiS When enrolling a student for the first time or updating new telephone contact information, please ensure that parental email addresses, general, attendance and emergency notification and text (if provided) contact information is entered for at least one parent. Ensure that the relationship is listed as Mother, Father, Step-Mother, Step Father or Guardian (avoid using the Parent classification). The Blackboard Connect system allows for up to six telephone numbers, two text numbers and two emails to be associated with each student. The telephone contact and email information should be entered on the MiSiS Parent/Guardian Info page. Any students without at least one notification contact number will not appear in the Blackboard Connect system.
