Baltimore County Public Schools is committed to providing ongoing and responsive communications about BCPS One. To keep BCPS staff informed of updates, reminders, and enhancements related to BCPS One, the Department of Information Technology will be publishing BCPS One Highlights. At various times throughout the school year, this publication will be emailed and contain relevant information about new features, content and resources to assist with the effective use of BCPS One.  

IMPROVED COMMUNICATION 
EMAIL NOTIFICATION

BCPS One users now have the benefit of receiving email notifications whenever a new message has been sent to their BCPS One account.

GRADEBOOK CLASS LIST 
EASIER FILTERING
 
For easier viewing, teachers now have the ability to filter class listings by teacher of record. This will benefit any teacher that has multiple gradebooks shared with them.

LESSON TILES  
EXPANDED CONTENT

When placing content on lesson tiles, users now have the ability to utilize content from other grade levels and subject areas. Previously, users only had access to content specific to the grade and subject they taught.

GRADEBOOK COMMENTS 
VISUAL INDICATOR

A new triangle marker will be displayed in the main gradebook view indicating when a teacher has made a comment on an assignment.
GRANTING ACCESS TO 
LONG TERM SUBSTITUTES
 
In order to ensure that instruction continues when a teacher is out on leave, long term substitutes can access BCPS One.   Daily substitutes do not have access at this time. Listed below are the steps required to grant access to long term substitutes.

  • The principal notifies Human Resources (HR) they have hired a long term substitute and the principal processes the appropriate paperwork requesting a network ID and password to be set up.
  • HR/Payroll updates the pay rate to reflect that the substitute has been placed into a long term position.
  • The principal e-mails [email protected].  This will ensure the long term substitute is added to the STARS user list, STARS faculty list and SILK (secondary only) teacher list.
  • The appropriate staff schedules classes to the substitute in STARS/SILK.
  • Long term substitutes will have access to BCPS One as part of the roster process in the evening feed from STARS. They will see those classes listed under their name.
EXPANDED SUPPORT
