Spirit Week
Technology Use Update
With our new adventure in Remote Learning comes new learning for staff, students, and administrators. We are learning that some students are utilizing their school Google Account to access Google Chat to converse with peers or creating documents and sharing them with other students to have social conversations, without sharing with staff. As the purposes of these conversations are not academic, and are not related to staff assigned activities, they are not in alignment with the expectations of Responsible Use Guidelines for students.
We understand that students are seeking connection with peers, and we highly encourage families to find ways for students to connect virtually and remotely, but through using personal email or other personal technology options. Students' school Google accounts should be used solely for academic purposes.

Featured Resources
Reading: Storyline Online
Storyline Online streams videos featuring celebrated actors reading children’s books alongside creatively produced illustrations. We used this resource frequently in class as a means to unwind from a busy day of learning. Storyline Online is a perfect resource for when students need a mindful break.
