5 Access Your SafeSchools Site 1.From any computer with an Internet connection, using your web browser, go to (insert your district’s SafeSchools’ site url here). 2.Enter your username below in the “username” field (located in the lower, left-hand corner of the screen). Because you are an administrator, the system will also prompt you to enter a password. This defaults to the first five characters of your username. Presenter, please type your district’s SafeSchools’ URL here.

6 The Training Area 1.The first screen you will see after logging into SafeSchools is referred to as the Training Area. This is where all mandatory and suggested course assignments will appear for employees. Administrators in the SafeSchools site will have access to the Admin Area, which can be viewed by clicking on the link in the top center of the page.

7 The Admin Area 1.In the Admin Area, SafeSchools administrators can assign courses, run compliance reports, edit employee information, and perform a number of different administrative functions within the system. 2.This area is organized by a series of tabs. The first of these tabs is the Dashboard. 3.The Dashboard tab is simply a visual report representing course assignments and completions over time.

8 Creating a Training Plan 1.Group assignments are created in the Training Plan tab. 2.To create a new assignment, click on the New Assignment button in the top right-hand corner of the screen. 3.Next, fill in the missing information under the column headings by clicking over the empty boxes underneath each field, moving from left to right. 4.Courses can be assigned to any combination of positions and buildings. To expand to the full list of positions and buildings when creating an assignment, be sure to click on the greater than sign (>) next to your district’s name.

9 Creating a Training Plan 5.After filling in the desired position/building combination, click on the empty box under the Course heading. Courses are organized by category. After selecting the course you are interested in assigning, be sure to place a check mark next to the appropriate version. Once the version has been checked, click the “X” in the upper right hand corner to return to the Training Plan screen.

10 Creating a Training Plan 6.Next fill in the dates. The Effective Date is typically the same day that the assignment is created. Employees can access the assignment on this date. The Due Date is the date you want the assignment to be completed by. The Expiration Date is when the assignment can no longer be accessed. This gives employees a bit of a grace period to complete assignments once they become past-due. All three dates need to be filled in for the assignment to be complete. 6.The last step in creating an assignment is to check the Published box. If you want to suggest the training, rather than mandate it, check both the Optional and Published boxes. Once the Published box is checked, the assignment is complete and will appear in your employees’ training plans.

11 Maintaining Employee Data 1.Employee data is stored in the Data Management tab of the Admin Area. Here, administrators can update employee information, add new employees to the system, deactivate employees who are no longer with the district, create individual assignments, and check on individual employees’ progress. 2.To enter a new employee into the SafeSchools system, click on the person icon with a green plus sign, located in the upper-right hand corner of the screen.

12 Maintaining Employee Data 3.After clicking over the New Employee icon, a New Hire form will appear. Only fields with a red asterisk to the right of them are required to be filled in. 4.Once the information has been entered, click the Submit button at the bottom of the screen and the new employee will be immediately added to your employee data.

13 Maintaining Employee Data 5.To remove an employee from the system, search for their information by typing their first or last name in the search bar at the top of the screen. 6.Next, click the Deactivate button in the lower left hand corner of their profile.

14 Course Features 1.All SafeSchools courses can be previewed in the Courses tab of the Admin Area. 2.To remove the quiz requirement for a course simply uncheck the box under the Quiz Required column. Quiz minimums can be changed by clicking over the default of 80% and typing in the desired percentage. 3.SafeSchools offers the option to add a Coordinator for every course. The coordinator’s name and contact information will appear at the bottom of the screen while a course is running, so that employees have someone to contact with questions. To add a Course Coordinator, click on the Coordinator icon under the Coordinators column heading in the courses tab and follow the prompts. 4.Another feature in the Courses tab is the Policy Builder tool. This tool allows schools to create and assign custom district-specific courses withtheir specific district policies.

15 Running Reports 1.The Reports tab allows administrators to run a variety of compliance reports, detailing who has and has not completed their mandated trainings. These reports can be exported directly to Excel by clicking over the Excel icons. Reports can be filtered by any combination of position, building and course.

16 Automatic Email Notification 1.The Preferences tab is home to our Automatic Email Notification feature. Once activated, this feature automatically sends out emails to all employees with active, incomplete, mandatory assignments. 2.To turn on Automatic Email Notification, simply choose the frequency at which you would like the emails to be sent out (once a week, every two weeks, once a month, or every two months) and click the Activate Auto-Email button. 3.A sample email can be previewed by clicking the Preview button. 4.The Recent Emails button lists the most recent 100 emails that have been sent out.

17 Help Resources 1.The last tab in the Admin Area is known as the Help tab. This tab is home to our Help Tutorials, Resources and Best Practice Videos. 2.Our Help Tutorials are straightforward how-to videos, which address our most frequently asked questions. Simply click over the title to view the tutorial. View a Tutorial

18 Help Resources 1.The Resources Area in the Help tab provides administrators with a number of implementation handouts and printable resources. 2.Our Best Practice Videos are short, informational videos that include insider tips and tricks on getting the most out of the program.
