Services for Students with Visual Impairments (SSVI)
HOW TO USE THE DIRECTOR’S DASHBOARD
AND HOW TO UPDATE YOUR STUDENT’S INFORMATION
(PRINCIPALS)
Overview:
Access to the Director’s Dashboard will require a Login ID and password, which will be provided at
the request of the Principal. A request for a Login ID and password can be made to
[email protected].
The Director’s Dashboard enables Principals to access and track “real time” information regarding
the equipment that is on loan to their students with visual impairments. School Jurisdictions are
accountable for the equipment borrowed from Alberta Education as outlined in the Equipment Loan
Agreement Terms and Conditions.
With the same Login ID and password, a Principal also has access to the Update An Existing
Student form, which resides on the SSVI Online Catalogue. See Page 5 for instructions.
Accessing the Director’s Dashboard:
1. Select the “Link to the Director’s Dashboard” from this webpage:
http://education.alberta.ca/teachers/resources/prb/ssvi.aspx. You may choose to mark this
webpage as a favorite.
2. Type in your Login ID and Password. Sign In.

Updating Your Student’s Information:
Why do schools need to update a student’s information? SSVI requires updated
information in order to continue providing services to your student.
Schools will be expected to update student information at the end of every school
year (by June 30th), and any time throughout the school year when there is a
significant change such as your student is changing schools or there is a new
school contact.
Neglecting this process may delay the shipping of resources and specialized
equipment for your student.
Who can update a student’s information?
• The Principal using the Log In ID and password assigned for access to the
Director’s Dashboard.
•
The Principal or Learning Support Teacher (LST)/Special Education
Coordinator/Equivalent using the student’s unique Login ID and password.
•
The student’s Teacher for the Visually Impaired (TVI).
Please note that logging in using one student’s Login ID and password does not
limit your ability to update information for additional students within your school.
1. Select the “Link to SSVI Catalogue” from this webpage:
http://education.alberta.ca/teachers/resources/prb/ssvi.aspx. You may choose to mark this
webpage as a favorite.
2. Select Login.
