I hope this letter finds you well. On behalf of the Texas Schools User Network (TSUN), I am delighted to extend an invitation to you and your esteemed group of users to participate in our upcoming TSUN Conference. This event serves as an exceptional platform for educators, administrators, and technology enthusiasts to come together, share knowledge, and foster collaboration in the field of educational technology.

TSUN is committed to promoting excellence in educational technology and enhancing the overall learning experience for students across Texas. We believe that by bringing together users of various educational systems, we can leverage collective expertise and exchange valuable insights. In line with this vision, we have decided to introduce dedicated sessions specifically tailored for users of PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS) and Schoology during this year's conference.

These sessions will offer an opportunity for PowerSchool SIS and Schoology users to explore the latest advancements, exchange best practices, and discuss strategies for optimizing the use of these platforms in educational settings. By participating, you will gain valuable insights, connect with like-minded professionals, and expand your network of colleagues who share a similar passion for leveraging technology in education.
 
Some key highlights of the TSUN Conference include:
 
1. Engaging Keynote Speeches: Renowned experts in educational technology will deliver inspiring keynote speeches, providing valuable perspectives and insights.
 
2. Interactive Workshops: Interactive sessions will be conducted by industry leaders and experienced educators, allowing participants to gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience.

3. Networking Opportunities: You will have ample opportunities to connect with fellow educators, administrators, and technology experts from diverse backgrounds, fostering collaboration and learning.

4. Vendor Exhibits: Explore the latest educational technology products and services showcased by leading vendors in our exhibition area.

We highly value your expertise and believe that your participation will greatly enrich the TSUN Conference. Your insights and experiences as a PowerSchool SIS and Schoology user will contribute significantly to the collective knowledge of our attendees.
To confirm your participation, please visit our conference website at https://tx-sun.wildapricot.org/ and complete the registration process.  This years conference will be held at the Omni in Corpus Christi.  We will communicate registration conference and hotel information as soon as it becomes available, usually early December.

Please feel free to share this invitation with other PowerSchool SIS and Schoology users within your network who may be interested in attending the conference.

If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact our conference organizing team at scott@tsuninc.org. We are more than happy to assist you with any queries you may have.

Good afternoon,

I hope you are enjoying your summer and you are finding ways to beat the heat this year, it’s hard to believe we are breaking records this early.

I wanted to give you all an update on TSUN 2024.  I am working with a hotel in San Antonio, I don’t believe it will work out so I will continue to investigate conference centers in the area.

The rates moving forward will begin at $525.00, it’s a shock for me too, as conference center rates and Audio/Visual continue to climb.  I am including a survey link to get your thoughts about the new prices.  Please fill out the survey as soon as possible.

Destiny destiny@tsuninc.org is collecting PEIMS/TRS Error(s) to post to the website.  If you have anything to share as we build the website, please contact her.

Eric and Lisa are working on getting content created for the conference.  If you would like to volunteer to lead a session, please email me scott@tsuninc.org.  Please let me know if you would like to lead a session but are hesitant.  Several of us have been doing it for many years and would be happy to help you.  I am working to partner with the Houston Schoology Group to bring more Schoology content to the conference.

Thanks,

TSUN Board
