Week at a Glance (WAG)
January 27-31
6th Field Trip Update
Permission slips were placed in your mailboxes on Friday, January 24th. Please throw those permission slips in the trash. The district is changing the venue and will be communicating the change to us next week. Once we have the new venue secured we will issue you new permission slips to send home. If you haven't checked your box then I have already thrown your permission slips away.
Thanks,
Charita
Teacher Computer Replacements and Windows 7 Updates at Travis
District is replacing professional staff computers. The date has not yet been decided, but here is what is important for you to begin now. Any file you would like to save must be saved on your U drive or a portable (thumb) drive. Anything remaining on the C drive of the computer will be lost. Begin working on this now as we may get word a day before computers will be changed out and you want to make sure to give yourself time to get everything saved that you want to keep.
Below is a list of computers that will be replaced.
