Dental Cleaning Information from Gina
Message from District Tech Team
Since the transition to Google back in 2014, utilization of this service has steadily declined. Faced with budgetary constraints associated with maintaining the servers to store and backup this data, the time has come to complete the transition to GoogleDrive.
Teachers should take the time from now until the end of the year to migrate any files you wish to keep from your H drive to your GoogleDrive. Depending on the amount of data you wish to keep, this can take some time.
Here is a video detailing how to make this move.

User Google accounts have unlimited storage capacity and teachers will now have anytime access to these files, something we could not provide before.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

STAR SCREENING WINDOW MAY 1-31
STAR screening window is open from May 1st until May 31st.
Please remember that this is a school-wide, universal screening, so students will not have any accommodations such as extended time or audio for math.
Here is the google document referencing our district testing schedule:
