Data manager at Henderson Middle conducts scheduling sessions at statewide conference

Paris Perkins

During the 2013 North Carolina Window of Information on Student Education Symposium held in Greensboro from Feb. 25-27, Paris Perkins, a program data manager working at Henderson Middle School for the past 15 years, conducted a two sessions on middle school class scheduling. Each session lasted two hours.

More than 2,500 educators and education support associates — including North Carolina Window of Information on Student Education coordinators, data managers, guidance counselors and principals — attended this event. Both of Perkin’s sessions resulted in heavy attendance.

This year, all public middle and high schools have until either May 1 or June 1 to finish scheduling students for their classes for the following school year. The deadline was moved up as a consequence of the impending conversion from the current information system to the PowerSchool system this summer.
