Briefly from me - a reminder we do not have an ele team meeting following SLT. Between testing and end-of-year wrap up and activities, there is quite a bit of work to be done and support to give. So enjoy the gift of time as you work through your tasks/to-do-lists. Some items should include, but not limited to:
-encouraging Explore for the students that need it most
-ensuring Math IC is complete and submitted
-updating your 2018/19 school supply lists and have them on your websites
Have a great week!

Once I’ve got updated information on funds, buses, and tickets regarding the tentative make-up 3rd grade Cardinals trip on May 21 (12 schools were interested), I will let you know.

IGNiTE device collection is underway. Here are a few updates on the process.
- The collection website is up and running. Blended learning specialists are working with teachers to access the website prior to collection. The website is https://techinventory.sps.org/Home/Collections/.
- Delivery of tubs is underway. Rick Green will be reaching out to you on specifics.
- We have planned on two green tubs and three blue tubs per classroom. You can redistribute as needed.
- If you are short on tubs please contact the help desk and we will have more delivered ASAP.
- All Chromebooks will be placed in green bins. Teachers do not need to separate damaged Chromebooks.
- In reviewing damaged Chromebook we ask that teachers really focus on cracked screens. The IT department will handle small repairs, such as missing keys, as we prepare devices for deployment in the fall.
Thanks!
