ATLE Administrative Assistants' Conference 2024

Want to become more familiar with Google Sheets? Come to this hands-on session where we’ll cover the basics to get you feeling comfortable and confident with Google Sheets. This session will cover the toolbar, adding data, sorting and manipulating data as well as basic formulas.

Schools are a very busy place and the school office is no exception, in fact it is often the busiest place in the building! We will discuss ideas around time management. This session will be roundtable in style. Come prepared to share what has worked for you in the past!

You’ve mastered the basics, but there must be more efficient and even new ways to do some of these tasks, right? In this session, join Bob to explore some of the amazing and creative ways they've been using updated Google tools with admin staff to keep organized, manage time, communicate appropriately and efficiently (even when language can be a barrier), and all in all keep the workplace running tickety-boo! This will be a live session so bring a device to follow along in your own Google space.

Do you use SchoolMessenger but would like to know more? We will discuss how our School Divisions use the product and offer an overview of the various add-ons available. This is NOT a vendor session. Instead, the session will be led by school division users.

Do you sometimes feel like you have been thrown into the ringer, surrounded by Power School data, PASI alerts, Registration forms, Digital Student Records, AB ED Audits, newsletters, websites, school fees and field trips? Have no fear! This interactive session for Admin Assistant’s is geared towards helping you get through the madness of Sept or the craziness of June or just a regular November day bombarded by teachers & staff, hurt & sickly children, angry/needy parents, snow days, and the worst of all evils... the jammed photocopier.

When conversations are hard and emotions run high, coming to a resolution can be difficult.  This session will demonstrate some methods of lessening the tension and emotions so these situations remain calm and allow for relationships to continue.
