Monica's Media Minutes
Lost Creek Media Center February 27, 2017
IPADS
The Follett program has a new section for equipment that we have to fill out. I will need to collect all iPads to put a barcode on them and enter them into the system. The iPad will be checked out to you.
Please bring me or send me your ipad after the faculty meeting or Tuesday morning. I will put the barcode on, enter the information and get it back to you by Tuesday afternoon! You will receive the SAME iPad. I will have sticky notes for you to label with your name. I am collecting them all at once because PTO would love to have a picture of all the iPads together to put in their report for this school year. :)

Reading Counts Shoes
Suddenly, we have someone smearing the writing on the Reading Counts shoes on the wall outside the library. If you see someone doing this, please let me know.
Thanks!
Thanks!
MyOn
As I noted in previous newsletters, MyOn is officially gone because the IDOE chose not to renew. A school subscription costs around $6,500.00, so we will not be subscribing. A homeschooled child can get a free subscription, however.

Please don't forget to check out the Lost Creek Activity Calendar! I try to keep it updated with all the latest events. Let me know if you need help finding this or if I need to add something!!
