Apogee Transition and Implementation Notes

Comprehensive Data Transfer Completion: It is confirmed that the migration of data for the entire school system is complete, having progressed beyond the initial phase.
Pilot Program Evolution: While the process originated with specifically designated pilot schools, all school rosters have now been moved over into the system during the training phase.
Roster Availability: Currently, every school roster is available within the platform, providing comprehensive access across the district rather than being limited to the initial pilot group.
System Visibility: The current state of the system allows users to see exactly what the live environment will look like, as the data reflects actual school structures.

Principal Access and Interaction: Principals have the functional ability to log in and "play around" with the system. This allows for a sandbox-style exploration where they can test features before a community-wide rollout.
Guardian and Family Visibility: Guardians have the ability to view rosters within the system. There was a specific clarification during the discussion regarding the extent of what guardians can touch or see, confirming their access to roster information.
System Testing: There is an opportunity for school leadership to try out the system functions before presenting the platform to the whole school community.

Email Source Identity: When the system sends out communications or notifications, the emails are configured to look as though they are coming directly from the school or the relevant administrative lead, rather than a generic third-party automated system (e.g., "the email will look like it's coming [from the principal/school]").
Documented Communication Strategies: For the initial pilot schools, a specific communication strategy was developed involving the use of screenshots.
Newsletter Integration: Principals were advised to include these screenshots in their regular newsletters. This approach was designed to ensure families were familiarized with the interface and knew what to expect before the transition occurred.

System Identity: The platform or resource suite housing these new tools is identified as "Apogee."
Replacement of Legacy Systems: The "class behavior options" available within Apogee are specifically designated as the replacement for the ClassDojo platform.
Support Documentation: Comprehensive support resources are already live and accessible on the Apogee support site.
Training and Instruction Materials: The support resources include:
- Step-by-step "folded instructions" (or similar formatted guides) for ease of use.
- Specific modules on how to edit and customize behavior points.
Early Preview Availability: Staff and administrators currently have the option to access these resources for an early preview of the transition from ClassDojo to the new behavior management functions.

Query on Login Ability: A participant inquired whether users should be able to log in currently. The response confirmed that they should be able to log in, though there was a brief discussion on whether they would want to do so immediately or wait.
Query on Data Migration: There was an initial point of confusion regarding the timing of the data move, which was clarified as having occurred during the training start-up for the pilot schools.
Query on Guardian Access: A participant asked if guardians could see the rosters. The response clarified that the visibility is established and that guardians are intended to have this access within the new system.
Query on Email Attribution: A participant asked if the system could still be used if the principal "doesn't use her mind [sic] anymore." The clarification provided was that the system-generated emails would maintain the appearance of coming from the appropriate school contact.
