The marking period will be halfway over on Friday, May 13. Please make sure that your gradebook is up to date, since posting grades is an important way to communicate with students and parents.
Please continue to take attendance in each of your classes in order to maintain accurate records. OnCourse recently released an attendance app that will allow you to take attendance on your phone if you are interested.

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK
This week's article discusses the concept of blended learning and discusses the idea that "making blended learning work is less about acquiring technology, and more about changing mindsets".
