Is your district looking for a time keeping software? TimeClock Plus may be the solution.

What is TimeClock Plus? TimeClock Plus is a time keeping software that is available through SWWC at an additional cost. Demographic data for a newly hired employee and existing employee can be electronically transferred from SMART System into the TimeClock Plus database. Employee hours and leave can be exported from TimeClock Plus into your Smart System, streamlining your payroll process. The system has many capabilities, is web based and accessible via the Internet. SWWC provides support for TimeClock Plus including setup and ongoing training.

Part 2 of the MARSS 101 Training is fast approaching! You can still register even if you didn’t attend Part 1. This is an excellent opportunity for new staff to get started and experienced staff to review and learn what’s changed. We will be focusing on MARSS WES, the state & local reports, as well as the Secure reports. Contact Wendy at wendy.borchert@swsc.org with any questions.

Discover the World & Outer Space Through Google Expeditions Virtual Reality Kit

SWWC has made virtual reality possible through a grant from Minnesota Telemedia. SWWC received two sets of Google Expeditions VR Kits for use by K-12 schools that are a member of the SWWC. Each kit contains a teacher device, 30 student devices, 30 viewers, and a router that allows the student devices to “travel” to the classroom destination. The student devices do not need Internet and will not be connected to your school’s wireless network. The kits are completely self-contained and very easy to share amongst multiple classrooms in a school and even multiple schools in a district. Schools will be able to check-out and borrow the kits for use in their schools free of charge, with the exception of shipping costs when necessary. Schools can reserve a kit and use it for 1 week. There are over 230 expeditions to choose from. To view the expedition list that are available please visit bit.ly/SWWCGooE
