Staff Shout Outs!
- Jessica Kinney is a rockstar. She has answered my questions without judgement even when I ask the same question each week because my mind is too frazzled to remember. She is amazing!!!
- Ms. Lindin...forever supportive and positive...even when she isn't feeling it.
- Shane Rimmer- all of the tech help!
- Jenna Sweet- always has something sweet and encouraging to say!
- 6th grade team- Everyone is supportive of each other whether it comes to venting, asking for help with a parent email, or just to hear someone telling you that you are doing a good job. Despite everything going on right now, I'm thankful to work with such a wonderful group of people!
- Francie Estro- so helpful and putting so much time and effort into teaching math in this crazy situation.

Tech Tips
Having problems with kids taking over in Microsoft Teams? After you click "Create," before clicking "Copy," it says in large print "Join Microsoft Teams Meeting." Right under that, it says "meeting options" in small print. Click it, and you see a question at the bottom "who can present?" Set it to "only me." That takes care of it.
Also, on the same page, if you want them to wait in the lobby to prevent them from talking to each other when you're not there, you can set that up, too.
On-demand camera won't work? Here's a tip for students! Thanks, Mrs. Lundin!
