WELCOME TO THE 2014 HOME BASE NC SYMPOSIUM! We are thrilled that you can join us to participate in an event that will offer you hands-on courses, introduce you to new tools and initiatives, and give you the opportunity to network with users from across the state. Volunteers from the NCDPI, Pearson, and the LEAs have worked hard to assemble an informative Symposium for you.
This school year we continue to complete the move from the eSIS student information software to Pearson’s PowerSchool suite. While at the Symposium, be sure to network with NCDPI and Pearson staff members and LEA attendees. Attend as many sessions as you can fit into your day. Design your Symposium schedule with the individual schedule form located in your registration booklet to assist you in getting the most out of this milestone event.
PresentersWe want to thank all the presenters who have so graciously accepted our call to present at this year’s Symposium. We have included their names in this program. Without their support, time in preparation, and willingness to present, we could not conduct a Symposium of this size.

Please note: Presentations were developed by the speakers; NCDPI assumes no responsibility for the content or validity of these presentations.
