How to Repair Permissions on a Mac

Many things you install in Mac OS X are installed from package files (whose filename extension is ".pkg"). Each time something is installed from a package file, a "Bill of Materials" file (whose filename extension is ".bom") is stored in the package's receipt file, which is kept in /Library/Receipts/ . Each of those ".bom" files contains a list of the files installed by that package, and the proper permissions for each file.

This fix will correct errors with Microsoft Office and other installed applications.

Follow these steps:

1. Locate the Utilities folder under Applications

2. Click Disk Utility


3. Make sure the HD is selected in the left-hand column

4. Click the Repair Permissions button at the bottom of the screen (this make take a couple of hours)

MS Scheduling

You can assign ALL of one grade level the proper academic classes and then go back and remove the requests for Gifted (.2) and Co-Teaching (.9) classes. Or you can assign all academics based on the classes the students had last year. 

2011- Daphne requested regular academics for all kids, and I went back and removed the requests for Gifted and CO-teaching and then added the correct courses ALL BASES ON PRIOR YEAR ROSTER. I also did this for band and chorus classes.

NOTE- the box on the first screen is the course you are working with regarding requests. The next screen will be where you want to pull rosters FROM.

Middle School Scheduling (2012)

1. Create all sections

2. Create Teams (Scheduling> Scheduling Groups)

3. Put team names on sections (only place these labels on regular ed sections of ELA, Math, SS, and Sci)

4. Place students on teams from Walk-In Scheduler (save requests)

5. Ad hoc regular ed kids- (watch out for kids who have been gifted at some point in the past- this was an issue in 2012. None of the kids who had previously been marked as gifted had a math or LA class)

6. Use this ad hoc with the Request Wizard to give kids reg ed courses (gifted and sped are scheduled by hand)

7. Use Request Wizard to request PE, Art, Tech, Ag, Business, and Words for ALL grade levels (don’t forget ELT)

AT THIS POINT, Daphne hand keys all sped, gifted, and any other special schedules.

8. New sections are created and teachers are updated on course tab

9. Lock all sections in the Wizard

10. Run a full load

11. Use the Student Gap Scheduler to see holes in schedules

12. If necessary, use the Gap Filler to add PE to empty slots
