Holiday Wishes from SnapShot

The entire staff here at Student Performance SnapShot would like to wish you a happy holiday season and a new year of improved student success!

Although many of our staff members are taking time off to be with their families over the holiday break, we will still be available to answer any data analysis questions you may have. Feel free to give us a call or send an email and we will be happy to lend a hand.

Checking Your List Twice

You’ve made your list of staff members who need access to SnapShot, but have you checked it twice? Regardless if they’re naughty or nice, your teachers need to be able to access student data in SnapShot to be able to make data-driven decisions on student learning.

To ensure all your staff members have access, please be sure to check that everyone can log into the program and that the correct email addresses have been entered. We wouldn’t want anyone left out in the cold.
