With virtual students, we're getting attendance submissions for "Oct. 8 - Dr. Appt." but don't know if that's full day or certain periods, and there's no in-person check out or in to know times.

And will FCPS being monitoring and/or managing a central announcement as more groups are returning to school, or will it remain a duty of web curators? https://padlet.com/mbcrowson/WebsiteChats/wish/856542917 2020-10-23 16:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mbcrowson/WebsiteChats/wish/856542917 Calendar okaymissa https://padlet.com/mbcrowson/WebsiteChats/wish/893986012 I would like to know how to upload the calendar excel sheet so I can drop a bunch of events in at once on the site versus going one by one.]]> 2020-11-05 14:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mbcrowson/WebsiteChats/wish/893986012 How to.. help - ecwilliford https://padlet.com/mbcrowson/WebsiteChats/wish/984589816 How can I unpublish and save our Academy "Registration" page for future use but replace it with a new page for this school year with the information we need for a virtual year? I think I know how but I'd like some guidance/help to be sure I do it correctly. The thing I'm most concerned about is getting the new page linked to the top menu on our site in place of the old one but not losing the old page's information in case we go back to the old way of doing things in 2021-22. ]]> 2020-12-03 16:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mbcrowson/WebsiteChats/wish/984589816 Webform pictures https://padlet.com/mbcrowson/WebsiteChats/wish/1068000138 Here’s what I currently do to save pictures.
  • I go to my results page of the form
  • Select the picture and save it to my desktop
  • Then, I go to add media and upload the photo there.  
Is there another way? It seems
 like there's faster way, but I could be wrong.

Any recommendations?  And..is there a video for that? or instruction sheet?
