Satchel Pulse Opt-Out
The Satchel Pulse screener is coming up for the spring. This is the social-emotional learning platform I had mentioned at the beginning of the year, which, if you recall, I have encouraged families to opt-out of. The slight change this spring is that to opt-out, you will need to complete this JotForm (one per student). For the section explaining the reason why you are opting-out, you can put something along the lines of you don't have concerns regarding the social-emotional health of your child(ren). If you have any questions regarding this, feel free to reach out, or bring it up at our LP8 meeting. Please submit the form no later than May 10, if you wish to opt out.
Ordering Update
Please monitor communication, responding promptly to emails and comments on orders to provide any necessary information to the Ordering Team. They have a significant task ahead of them with 27,000 items in the queue to review and purchase for the 23.24 School Year!
Field Trips Update
Previously, tickets for field trips and events were reserved on Eventbrite. We won't use Eventbrite moving forward; tickets may be reserved on Ticketbud instead. You will be happy to learn that fees for out-of-pocket tickets are less on Ticketbud, and they have a more efficient waitlist. Additionally, we created a way for families to receive info about field trips in specific areas. If you would like to be notified of field trips in your area, please complete our field trip notification survey.
Our events will be listed on our Ticketbud landing page for the upcoming school year. You can still view field trips by area on our website.
