Pi Day- Late but save this one for next year.

Remind Training- through text message?
Advanced features of Remind have been purchased for Frisco ISD, making it THE approved platform for communication with your students and parents! If you don't often send Remind messages or have been using a different tool (GroupMe users, I am looking at you) then you might not have noticed all the features available to you! Remind has training that is done through their platform- so you get either email or text messages depending on your preferences in their system. It is made up of two such messages per week to highlight tips and tricks, and it was turned on TODAY! If you have never used Remind, go in and set up your account using your FISD account and you will get the training messages too!
You are welcome to join in either of these Twitter Chats on Wednesday! Remember this is a space on your BINGO card!
Is there a topic you would like to see covered in a Twitter Chat? Let me know! You could see an LT or CTE chat in your near future!
Filter Tile in Portal
Did you know that when you browse using our Wifi, you are filtered at the level of a Kindergartener? It's true, but you don't have to STAY filtered at the level of a Kindergartner! You can visit filter.friscoisd.org to login to our filter and let the Wifi know that you are not 6 years old. To make this easier, there is now a filter tile in the portal so you don't even have to remember that URL. Students and teachers each have this, so be sure to let the filter know who is boss...err...who you are...so you can access all the very important things you need. You will find the tile in the Default section at the top of your filter page.
When do 5C Badges Close this year?
5C Submissions will close for the year on April 30 at 5:00 PM. You still have quite a bit of time to get some badges done! Let me know if you need any help or just want to talk ideas!
