A few things you should know

• This program has a time out option. If you do
  not do anything with the program for a few
  minutes, it will make you log-in again.
  Unfortunately, it wont do it immediately but
  will wait for you to press another button. So,
  if you are placing in grades and you step away
  for a few minutes and then press the okay button,
  those grades will not be saved!

Continued

• This program may run slow at times. Please be
  patient!
• STIWeb will be most effective for you if you only
  use it to enter/change lesson plans or enter
  grades. Other functions may take too long over
  the web (attendance, moving lesson plans, etc.)
  and should be done at the school whenever
  possible.

5
Accessing STIWeb

• STIWeb is located on the Internet at the
  Alexandria Home Page (www.alex.k12.in.us)
• Once you are on the web page, you will find an
  area that says STIWeb.
• Select the down arrow and click the mouse on your
  school.
• Be patient! This process may take a couple of
  minutes.
