Please note that for 1701 and TRAX we suggest that you test submitting these submissions early so that if there are any issues we can get the Provincial Team to work on resolving them.
Also with Report Cards I would suggest taking one teacher and testing entering marks and printing the report cards to ensure it is working as you would expect it to work.

To All Users
Please note that this Thanksgiving long weekend the Provincial Team is doing another conversion load from BCeSIS to MyEducationBC. As such MyEducationBC and BCeSIS will be UNAVAILABLE from 5pm on Friday (10th Oct) until 7am on Tuesday (14th Oct).
Please note for those schools that are live in MyEducation and BCeSIS there will be no changes to your data it is just so that they can convert other schools and districts in the province to MyEdBC, and the only way to do this is to take both systems offline while they do this.
Thanks,
Andrew Smit
— Independent School MyEdBC/BCeSIS Project Manager –
At the request of FISA BC , the Ministry has changed the 1701 data collection snapshot date for independent schools to October 17, 2014 to align with the adjusted 1701 dates for public schools. Please note the following dates:
Snapshot: October 17
Files Due: October 24
This change was requested by the FISA BC Board of Directors in order to align the snapshot date with the public system and avoid the risk of any students going unreported should student transfers occur between October 1 and October 17th. This change applies to the current school year only.
The Ministry data collection website has now been updated to reflect the adjusted dates. Thank-you for your immediate attention to this important matter.
For BCeSIS Schools we did a session a couple weeks ago on 1701, but you can view the recording here: http://bcsupportonline.com/training-recordings/1701-2/

When you need the ability to have additional locally developed courses, you need to create flavors of courses. Here is a video on how to create the flavors.

Thanks.
To All MyEdBC Schools. For those of you that experienced the “Calendar” where you couldn’t assign days and bell schedules to specific dates in the future. That issue should have been resolved now by the Provincial Team. You can go back into your calendar and setup those remaining dates. If you have any issues please report it to the helpdesk so that we can take it back to the Provincial team.
