Observations from the Office:
On the other hand, if you do not know the person AND that they are an approved emergency contact to pick up, please DO NOT send them even if the student recognizes them. Please send them around to the front office and we will check their ID and release the student to them ONLY if they are on the emergency card. Thank you!

Most ESL students love learning idioms. Idioms seem to hold a special magic. Students hear these colorful phrases and struggle to decode them, but you usually can’t guess the meaning of an idiom from the meanings of the individual words. You can understand take and pinch and salt, yet never guess that take it with a pinch of salt means to view a claim with skepticism. How would you know? Learning idioms is like cracking a secret code!
Ed's Weekly Tech Tips
In case you haven’t heard of this one…
The Snipping Tool is AWESOME!
Snipping Tool allows you to copy a portion of your screen and paste it into another document or email.
To find it, go to <Start Menu> - <All Programs> - <Accessories> - <Snipping Tool>.
You can also just type Snipping Tool into the box at the bottom of the Start Menu.
Select New, and then drag your cursor around the area you want to snip
Place your cursor in the document into which you want to paste your Clip, and right click to select Paste.
<CTRL PRT SCRN> takes a copy of the whole page and allows you to paste it into a document, but Snipping Tool just cuts what you want. You can also save the snip to a .JPG file if needed. Students DO NOT have access to this.
