Nuts and Bolts
- Staff with personal children: Please remind your own children about our "after-school" expectations. Kids should be in their parent's room or designated spot. If they travel through the commons, please ask them to be quiet as ASP students are working on homework.
- Staff Support for Extra Events: At the beginning of the year, we all signed up for Chik-fil-A Nights for the 1st semester. We now have dates for 2nd semester. Please click on the link below and sign-up for one of the dates. Thanks!
Tech "What If..." Challenge
Twitter is a great resource for professional growth and sharing. I'd like us to attempt this "What If" challenge.
- Step 1: Download and learn how to use Twitter (get with a "techy" in the building or watch this Howcast.)
- Step 2: Add a quick message about something great that happened at school today (students, adults, personal, etc.)
- Step 3: Add #mintermoments to your message so that others can easily read the thread.
- Step 4: Earn a free jean's day for every day that you Tweet! (offer expires on Jan. 22)
Check It Out! We never quit learning...
