Editing Your Teacher Profile on School Messenger

Your teacher profile will be the public’s first snapshot of your as a teacher when they search for you on our district website.

Your profile contains your name, position, email address, website, blog, links to social media (district approved), location, office hours, and biography. You should provide as much information as you are able to facilitate parent and student engagement.

To get to your profile:

• First, you need to login to the MPS district site. Goto www.middletownschools.org. In the upper left corner, click on Select a school, then choose your school assignment from the dropdown menu.
• Next, click Login from the upper right.
• Enter the username and password that you use for your computer login, not your Google account, then click Login. *Note - Your username will be your last name/first initial without @mpsct.org.
• You will see your username in the upper right corner next to Logout and the Search Bar, click on it

• You will see a summary of your profile along with the tabs shown in the picture above. Select Edit User.

• Verify that the info shown in the User Details window is correct. Now select User Profile.
• Fill out as much of the User Profile as you deem necessary, noting that you do not have to include your personal address or cell phone number, but if you decide to do so, you have the option to select the Keep Private check box.

The first field in your profile is for your website. This is where you will paste your website URL, once you have created your site. If you have a blog, you can paste the URL for that in the Blog field directly below.

You can put links to your various MPS social media sites in the Social Media section of your profile. All MPS staff have Google accounts which include Google+ and YouTube. The first tiem you use either will require a bit of set up, email Tech Coach Steve Matthews if you would like assistance. If you have set up Facebook or Twitter accounts on behalf of your class or department, enter those URLs here.

Most importantly, when you are finished updating your profile, click Update User.

To include a photo in your profile, select User Photo, then Choose File to upload a picture from your computer. After you have selected your photo, click Upload to complete the process.
