Good morning!

This week, I have spoken with almost everyone on this list to provide in-person updates and answer any questions you may have. Below is a summary for most of you.

We are now officially connected to TeacherEase, and we are syncing rosters with Clever, which will then connect to Aimsweb. As a staff member, you can access Aimsweb using your Clever login. Since we are early in the testing process, please start slowly and ensure that everything is functioning correctly.

Here are the syncing details for TeacherEase:

For JES, LES, and MES:

For CIS and SMS:

All reading specialists have been assigned as "managers" in Aimsweb, giving you full access to the students in your affiliated building.

Please note that our syncing process occurs after school hours. If a new student is added to your TeacherEase class today (Halloween), you will not see them in Aimsweb until tomorrow. If you do not see them in the TeacherEase class rosters mentioned above, please contact the office so they can be added to TeacherEase.

If you notice any major issues with rostering rules, please contact help@oes141.org. If you have Aimsweb-specific questions, please follow your previous support channel.

Thank you for the information. Thank you for finding a way to make this work.

Thank you! I will wait to hear from you for the go ahead!

Great news! After weeks of waiting on Aimsweb, they let us know yesterday afternoon that we’re successfully syncing TeacherEase data to their platform. You probably received an email. We’re excited to use the information from TeacherEase to connect students with staff members in each building. But please note we'll be making a few minor tweaks along the way, and we’re currently testing things out with a small group to ensure everything runs smoothly. Once we’ve got everything sorted, we’ll be sure to share more details on when the product is available to utilize.

As we are concerned about data that may or may not change we strongly advise against using the product until we know the configuration is complete.

Update from Pearson as of 10/11

In order to delete the YMCA data, they need a request on a District letterhead. I submitted the request yesterday.

Aimsweb is transferring the existing manual student data to integrate it seamlessly with the data in TeacherEase. This conversion aims to prevent data loss, and new students will automatically be added to the system.

What is complete:

Access to the system

Connected TeacherEase to Clever to Aimsweb

Configured syncing rules with Clever

Configured Clever SSO for login purposes

Verified that student data had to be maintained

Attempted to sync a classroom at MES to check data accuracy

Determined that the old data IDs don't match with TeacherEase IDs

Sent all data to Aimsweb so they can convert all student and staff IDs to match TeacherEase ID to prevent data loss

Identified 270 duplicate accounts related to the YMCA

Communicated with Aimsweb to remove YMCA data

We are currently waiting on Aimsweb. As we are employing a combination of internal and external resources for this transition, we are unable to provide a specific timeline for its completion at this time. We're making progress, and we'll continue providing updates.
