Congratulations to Riley Johnson, Emme Rauen, and Kiernan Wolery for leveling up in Lexia!

Both my am and pm classes have been rockstars for my google hangouts. They show mustang pride by keeping their mics muted, raising their hands, they are experts at muting and unmuting microphones, and they pay attention the entire time. I have literally not had one instance of a student not being engaged and participating and it's amazing!

Last Day of School
Children Inc (Learning Grove) External Pre-K and K Program
Because of our growing student population, we will not have the space to host the Children, Inc (now Learning Grove) Preschool or extended Kindergarten programs in our building next year. We will still have our Boone County Preschool and our regular kindergarten classes. We have enjoyed a great relationship with Children Inc in the past, and we liked being able to provide that extra service to our families. However, we need the classrooms to meet the needs of our EES students. This will not impact the before or after school program provided by this organization.
Help us stay connected! #eesntiky
Chromebook Care At Home
Chromebook Procedures for Use
Chromebook General Precautions:
§ No food or drink should be next to Chromebook.
§ Make sure that all cords and cables are inserted/removed carefully and into appropriate port on the Chromebook.
§ Do not put heavy items on the Chromebook.
§ No stickers or similar items should be placed on the Chromebook.
§ Have a safe place to store/charge your Chromebook at the end of each day.
Carrying Chromebooks:
§ Always transport Chromebook with care.
§ Carry the Chromebook (cover closed) with two hands. Give it a HUG when carrying it!
§ Never lift a Chromebook by the screen.
§ Never carry a Chromebook with the screen open.
Opening the Chromebook:
§ Open the Chromebook when it is resting on a flat surface such as a desk or table
§ To open a Chromebook, use one hand to hold the keyboard against a desk/table. Use the other hand to open the screen by grasping the screen’s edge (in the middle) and gently move the screen to the open position.
§ The hinge of the screen will only allow the screen to be open to a slight angle.
§ Do not attempt to open the screen beyond this stopping point as the screen will break if forced.
§ Chromebooks have a 180-degree rotating camera. Please take care when rotating the camera. To avoid breaking the camera, do not over-rotate it or move it excessively.
Closing the Chromebook:
§ Before closing the screen, make sure there is nothing on the keyboard to prevent the full closure of the screen.
§ Close the screen only when the Chromebook is on a flat surface such as a desk or a table.
§ Close the screen gently with both hands – on at each corner of screen.
§ When you are finished using the Chromebook – log off the Chromebook by clicking your picture and SIGN OUT.
§ At the end of Chromebook use please SHUT DOWN the Chromebook by clicking in the bottom left corner.
*We are so happy that as a school we were able to send Chromebooks home with every child that needed one. That being said, we do not have unlimited technology to check out so it is very important that students are caring for devices properly. It costs our school greatly to get these devices fixed or replaced.
