SIT update and Title One Priorities
It is our hope that we will have a dynamic document that will change frequently enough to match the landscape of our school and district goals.
We will report out on feedback from Central Office and revise/edit the plan as needed.
More to come by July 1st.
Our Title One Priorities document has been submitted as well.
Thanks to all of our Intervention Specialists for their input and willingness to lend a hand!
I'll give everyone updates throughout the summer months regarding both "plans".
Evaluation Update
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgdwQJqybQc
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.
