Technology Reminder: Kim wanted to remind staff that students using technology should be carefully monitored. More and more students are using school computers and taking up lots of bandwidth for online gaming, which is against the acceptable use policy.
After School Help Days: Back in October we asked everyone to complete this quick google form to let us know after school help days. If your late day has changed since then, please take a minute to update it using this google form.

Collaboration and Engagement:
