Bronco Chronicles
Volume 38, January 8th - January 15th
Lead Learner's Message
Goooooood morning #BroncoStrong faculty and staff! I hope you had a restful and restorative break, and I hope you are ready for a fabulous second semester! I am so excited to be back at work with such great people and to get to interact with the kiddos once again.
As you well know the spring semester is fast and furious. This semester is marked by teachers teaching the content at a feverish pace, testing (STAAR, TELPAS), UIL activities, the Valentine Dance, field trips and the end of year awards ceremony, so put your game face on......IT IS SHOW TIME!
Please remember these few things as begin a new semester: 1. Chromebook carts can only be utilized under the supervision of the teacher of record...not subs. 2. When students are using chromebooks, please actively monitor thus ensuring they aren't cracked or damaged upon return. (keys have been removed & a screen has been cracked) 3. Before returning carts, make sure ALL chromebooks are plugged in. GOOD NEWS WE WILL HAVE TWO NEW CHROMEBOOK CARTS READY TO GO ON 1/16!! (a purple and white cart .......both will be first come, first serve)
I hope you make this Monday the BEST Monday of the week! Thanks so much for all you do and don't forget, our mindsets shape our behavior when it comes to learning. #Growthmindset
