Student Usernames/Passwords
This is a friendly reminder teachers have access to student usernames and passwords through CFS. In CFS, there is a "student usernames and passwords" report that allows you to pull login information for any student on any of your course rosters.
See the attachment for a visual of where to find this report.
ESY Services
There has been a change in the location of ESY services for the 18-21- Transition age students. We are again going to have the 18-21 year old students ESY cluster site services located at South High School. Combining locations of our programs to fewer sites will cut down on some of the over-all programming costs such as transportation, nursing etc. and it will allow again for collaboration between the two programs. Attached is the final document of service locations for all of our ESY summer services.

Please see the Translation and Interpretation webpage and follow the guidelines and procedures to submit an interpreter request. All requests go directly to ARCH. Schools are encouraged to submit interpreter requests as longer blocks of time rather than as individual appointments when possible.
Requests can be submitted from now until Friday, February 9, 2018 for guaranteed coverage. Schools that submit their interpreter requests during this time will receive their confirmations by the end of Monday, February 12, 2018, including appointment date, time, location details and interpreter names.
Any interpreter requests received after the deadline (Friday, February 9, 2018) will not be guaranteed coverage. If any school has any questions or needs further assistance, please contact ARCH directly at 651-789-7897 or the Translation and Interpretation Office at 612-668-1830.

Need assistance with purging materials?
We are being encouraged to let go of materials we haven't used in several years. If you know of materials in your room you are ready to let go of, Patricia can help get them out of your room.
Send her an email and she will come with boxes and a student helper and get materials to a central location where they can be reviewed for use by other staff. Materials that no one is interested in will be made available to any staff to donate to the organization of their choice.
Need help with Google Classroom?
If you need help with beginning steps of using Google Classroom, or if you are using it already and want to do more with it, Patricia is available to help out. She is available before school 8-9am, during 1st hour and during 6th hour to help you with the following Google Classroom elements. Email her to set up a time.
