Tech This Out: Hey Teachers! Have you ever wanted to send out a google document to students, parents or other staff members, but you want them to make their own copy of the document first so that they don't edit or change your document. Guess what? There is a way to do this! You can share a google document in a way that will prompt whoever clicks on the link to make a copy first before viewing. Click in this link for more information and instructions.
RC Week: Please plan to have grades entered prior to next Mon so that you can share preps with your team to support RC grade and comment entry. Thanks ya'll! Teamwork makes the dream work.
PARENTS & FAMILIES:
- Pick Up and Drop Off: Thank you for showing safety is a priority! What a difference! Safety is hugely important. Please continue to use the the parking lot lanes for pick up and drop off for your child. Parking and/or waiting in a bike lane or in a lane of traffic is dangerous, illegal and puts our children at risk.
- Infinite Campus and Grade Checks: Grade checks have begun and are now digital! Teachers will continue the reflection process in classes at the beginning of each week, while families can support the process at home by checking grades online and checking in with their child at home about it. Info about logging in to Infinite Campus to view your student's grades is on our website or check out this link.
