Wins for the Week!
- Our 6th-grade Orchestra performance was amazing! We love to see how much they have progressed since the start of the year!
Our ILT met to discuss how we can ensure our teachers’ level of instruction is at the proficient and distinguished level. Also, we discussed how we can make sure our students are learning at the proficient/distinguished level.
Way to go to our Lady Broncos who won against the Grace Snell Middle. The final score was 32 to 22!
We had a marvelous time connecting with our students during our Advisement time. This gives us an opportunity to have meaningful conversations with our students.
Congratulations to all our Blazin’ Blazin’ Broncos for the month of January! We are so proud of our students for demonstrating great leadership and citizenship. Keep up the marvelous work!
Great job Mr. Tankersly for preparing our 6th-grade students for the very first middle school band concert. They did a fantastic job!
- A big thank you to Scherrie Grim, Julianne Purnell, the Clerical staff, and the peer leaders for helping to make our "Souper Bowl" an amazing treat for teachers as well as a great way to raise funds for Relay!
Email Migration Information- 2/20/20
Here is some helpful information as we move towards our migration to Outlook on February 20th. Feel free to browse these resources, but I will also have a Y'all Come Session on the next day in lab A19.
Information from GCPS:
On Thursday, February 20, your email and calendar will be moving to Microsoft Outlook. This is your “go-live” date.
Here are a few things you should know in preparation for this move:
- On the evening prior to go-live, you will not be able to use Lotus Notes after 6 pm. On the morning of go-live you will begin to work in Outlook.
- The following Lotus Notes items will migrate to Outlook: Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash and all of your folders.
- Lotus Notes calendar entries will migrate as well. If you currently link an external calendar e.g. Google calendar, to your Lotus Notes calendar, remove that link prior to your migration.
- Archives will not migrate but you will continue to have access to them through Lotus Notes indefinitely. Before access to archives is restricted, you will be provided with instructions regarding archives.
An email will be sent 3 business days prior to your go-live with additional details regarding the migration.
Training options:
- You can begin to explore the how-to documents provided via the employee portal under Tools > Training Resources (found under Technology Support) > Office 365
