<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have reports of teachers no longer having the My Students Tab in the state NCEdCloud Portal.  </span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have not been able to determine the issue with NCEdCloud staff but we do know it relates to flagging staff with specific job codes.  We have verified with a few of the teachers who no longer have the My Students Tab that they do have the correct job code.  </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The NCEdCloud support staff have advised the teachers missing the My Student Tab to request the My Students for Non-teachers role to reinstate access to change student passwords. </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The “My Students for Non-teachers” exception role in the IAM Service can optionally be requested by teachers and staff that don't have one of the specific jobs the system flags (or system issues not recognizing correct codes) but do have students assigned to them. When granted, this role allows teachers and staff who are teaching classes but do not fall within the previous job codes, to see their assigned students via the "My Students for Non-teachers" tab in the IAM service.  This role must be requested each school year, as it will expire on June 30th of the school year in which it is granted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To request this role, the teacher would do the following after logging into my.ncedcloud.org:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Workflow tab -> Requests -> Check "My Students for non-Teachers" box -> click "Submit Request" button</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The request would then go to a JCS employee with the LEA Administrator role for Approval. NOTE:  Requests for LEA Student Help Desk will not be approved so be sure they are requesting the "My Students for non-Teachers"</span><br />

Over the summer we have been working diligently on several BIG projects and we wanted to give you an update on where we stand.<br />
<br />
<b>Project 1: VOIP </b>- Voice over IP - this project is complete and ready to go your school's office staff have been training for your return, if you have questions about your new phone refer to your school secretary first.  All phones should be connected to a desktop which in turn connects to the internet. All extensions are unique, which requires updated directories (we are continuing to work on extensions)  Here is a picture of what the phone connection should look like - check this first if you are having trouble with your phone.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Project 2: Cloud IAM</b> - REMEMBER there is a state hosted Cloud IAM and a local one.  We have completed the transition to the state hosted site and the JCOC page now has a link to "Homebase NCEdCloud" which will take you to state hosted log in - this is your powerschool log in and the account you claimed prior to the summer.  If you have trouble with this account you should ask your tech person who should be able to "Reset" your password - or you can use your security questions to reset your own password.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Local CloudIAM is going to be called "JCS Portal" and will be linked up as soon as it goes live - this will be the same location for both students and staff.  The apps will be added in phases but the first app will be Google. More information to come as we move forward.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Project 3: iBoss filtering</b> which has been turned on, this will be our new filter.  If you have websites showing as blocked that you would like have unblocked you will see this option - simply "Request Exception" and enter your email and a small description of how you use the site for it to be reviewed.</div>

Important Update on Access to Student PowerSchool/Schoolnet Login Information for Teachers

We have reports of teachers no longer having the My Students Tab in the state NCEdCloud Portal.

We have not been able to determine the issue with NCEdCloud staff but we do know it relates to flagging staff with specific job codes. We have verified with a few of the teachers who no longer have the My Students Tab that they do have the correct job code.

The NCEdCloud support staff have advised the teachers missing the My Student Tab to request the My Students for Non-teachers role to reinstate access to change student passwords.

The “My Students for Non-teachers” exception role in the IAM Service can optionally be requested by teachers and staff that don't have one of the specific jobs the system flags (or system issues not recognizing correct codes) but do have students assigned to them. When granted, this role allows teachers and staff who are teaching classes but do not fall within the previous job codes, to see their assigned students via the "My Students for Non-teachers" tab in the IAM service. This role must be requested each school year, as it will expire on June 30th of the school year in which it is granted.

To request this role, the teacher would do the following after logging into my.ncedcloud.org:

Workflow tab -> Requests -> Check "My Students for non-Teachers" box -> click "Submit Request" button

The request would then go to a JCS employee with the LEA Administrator role for Approval. NOTE: Requests for LEA Student Help Desk will not be approved so be sure they are requesting the "My Students for non-Teachers"

Student Accounts for PowerSchool/Schoolnet Important Updates-Please Share!

Student accounts for PowerSchool/Schoolnet are now managed by Rapid Identity which means that logins from last year and last year's method of accessing student logins may not work. According to DPI, students in grades 6-12 MUST claim their NCEdCloud account in order to access PowerSchool/Schoolnet.

Teachers of K-5 students have access to a list of their students new account usernames and passwords under their NCEdCloud account.

We have prepared documentation for how 6-12 students can claim their accounts as well as how K-5 teachers can access their students account information.

Please click here for 6-12 student claiming information.

Please click here for K-5 teacher instructions to access student information.

Every school has a NCEdCloud help desk support person to facilitate account resets. Thank you for your support in sharing this information with your staff to ensure access to all instructional tools available.

Help Us to Help You!

Technology Services has asked us to post a few reminders about current issues.

Technology Services is happy to help you with NCEdCloud issues, here are a few tips to help you with the most common issues:

Within the Powerschool Portal, it is best to search by User ID. If they do not know their User ID, then search by last name.

If you need to contact Stephanie Canning or Michelle Turnage for additional support, please include the staff member's name and User ID in your help request.

Please encourage your staff to update their email signatures and websites with their new phone extensions.

Latest News from ISD!

Over the summer we have been working diligently on several BIG projects and we wanted to give you an update on where we stand.

Project 1: VOIP - Voice over IP - this project is complete and ready to go your school's office staff have been training for your return, if you have questions about your new phone refer to your school secretary first. All phones should be connected to a desktop which in turn connects to the internet. All extensions are unique, which requires updated directories (we are continuing to work on extensions) Here is a picture of what the phone connection should look like - check this first if you are having trouble with your phone.

Project 2: Cloud IAM - REMEMBER there is a state hosted Cloud IAM and a local one. We have completed the transition to the state hosted site and the JCOC page now has a link to "Homebase NCEdCloud" which will take you to state hosted log in - this is your powerschool log in and the account you claimed prior to the summer. If you have trouble with this account you should ask your tech person who should be able to "Reset" your password - or you can use your security questions to reset your own password.

The Local CloudIAM is going to be called "JCS Portal" and will be linked up as soon as it goes live - this will be the same location for both students and staff. The apps will be added in phases but the first app will be Google. More information to come as we move forward.

Project 3: iBoss filtering which has been turned on, this will be our new filter. If you have websites showing as blocked that you would like have unblocked you will see this option - simply "Request Exception" and enter your email and a small description of how you use the site for it to be reviewed.

You will also see one time authentication page that looks like this. You will simply click "Accept" and continue. This will show for all users one time.

More information to come as we continue to roll out the latest features of this new system.

We are excited to bring you these new and exciting tools!

Reminder: Please Encourage Your Staff to Claim Their CloudIAM Accounts!

Please be reminded that all staff who access PowerSchool or PowerTeacher must claim their account before they leave for the summer. This includes administration staff.

The most common issue we have had is that staff are trying to login or reset their account once they click on the CLOUD IAM link. They must click on the "Claim My Account" button as pictured below.

On July 6th, 2015 you will need to use a new NCEdCloud IAM account to access PowerSchool and the Home Base suite.

The NCEdCloud IAM account is a single-sign on service that is mandated by DPI. The process to claim your account is simple and takes just a few minutes. Your new account is based on your current PowerSchool UserID number. All staff must claim their accounts prior to July 6th, 2015 or they will be unable to access PowerSchool or the Home Base suite until they claim their account.

One benefit to this process is that teachers will have access to their student's usernames and passwords to aid in access to PowerSchool.

To help you prepare your staff, we have created a step-by-step training video as well as a flyer for you to share.

Please help us get the word out about this important process to minimize disruptions next year.

Here is the three-minute instructional video (click here for the direct link):
