Why should Principals Attend?

While Principals often don't work in MyEdBC every day, it is important for them to understand what MyEdBC is capable of doing and how it can help their staff do their job more efficiently. In addition we will show you report and data tools that you can access now to help you make decisions for your school and guide your interactions with students and parents.

Why should Secretaries and Admin-Assistants and other Front Office Attend?

This conference is designed to be a practical training conference where we will be teaching on a variety of MyEdBC topics specially for Independent Schools. Each session will allow you to work with your student data in MyEdBC and apply the techniques and ideas presented. It will also be a good opportunity to connect with other people who do similar jobs to you and see what they do in their schools and get great ideas. You also have the opportunity to ask all the questions that you have ever wanted directly with our team.

Please BRING YOUR LAPTOP because there will be lots of time to work with your own data and test things out with us.
