MNPS Landmark Build Challenge 2022
Driving Question: How can I create a model of a local or state landmark that is important to me?
A landmark is an object or feature of a landscape or town that is easily seen and recognized from a distance, especially one that enables someone to establish their location (example: The Parthenon in Centennial Park).
Work individually or in a group to research a local/state (TN) landmark. Visit Community Landmarks Build Challenge for more info. You may use any Minecraft world to build in, but your submission must include:
- a tour & explanation of your landmark.
- a plaque (in your world) detailing the purpose & history of the landmark.
- an explanation for why you chose the landmark.

GLOBAL PROTECT IS NO MORE WITH STUDENT LAPTOPS
How do I know if it has Global Protect? This icon or box shows up on your laptop(Pictured in this article). Or if your mnpsk12.org-schools WIFI is not working at school.
Teachers & Staff, your MNPS devices will still have global protect on them for now. Only student devices need to be swapped out.

Laptop Lost & Found Procedure
When laptops go missing in the building....
1st off, try to avoid that by never leaving it behind. To avoid confusion on whose laptop is whose, place an identifiable sticker on your laptop that helps identify your laptop. Good news, if you check out books in the library, we typically have an assortment of fun stickers.
Worst case scenario, you lose your laptop in the building, your teacher will not hold it but will turn it into the library. We will scan the barcode on the back to see who it is checked out to, then we will lock up the laptop and add your name to the Laptop List that teachers have access to. So you can simple stop by the library if your laptop is lost in the building or check in with a teacher to see if your name is on the list.
If you find a laptop, please return to the library! We will have a treat for you for being so sweet and returning a laptop!!!
