Dyknow
Good Morning;
As we get closer to the holiday season, we must remember to keep our guard up, and continue to monitor students throughout the day while using their laptops. What can be done to assist, continue the use of DyKnow, it’s a very useful tool that makes it easy to prevent the misuse of their device if used daily. Also talk with your students about internet safety and how it’s not to be used for inappropriate sites. Teachers, know and express yourself clearly, and implement consequences to avoid other problems that may occur. Again thanks for all you do daily at CES.

The district will be taking inventory on the number of devices in every school in Huntsville City during the break.
