Do you have students “losing” their work in OneNote? They swear they completed the task, but it disappeared, or OneNote erased it?
Here is what to try next:
Go to your Class Notebook, open the student’s section group (click on the name of the student), then navigate to the section and page where work has been lost.
- Click on the History ribbon/menu at the top of OneNote. You will get several options. You can restore the work from earlier in the day, or several days in the past. When you click on this date, the work will be restored.
- Here is a video to show you how to get there: https://www.screencast.com/t/WpThQbkCfO9e

City of Oak Ridge Youth Advisory Board Seeking Vendors for a Job Fair for Teens
The City Youth Advisory Board is planning a Job Fair for Teens on Wednesday, September 12, 2018 from 1:45pm-5:45pm in the Oak Ridge High School Café. The event will introduce students to possible job opportunities, resume assistance, and to volunteer opportunities. The event will also serve as an excellent opportunity for vendors to meet potential employees.
The current list of vendors includes the City Recreation and Parks Department, Big Ed’s Pizza, RecruitWise, Kroger, and the Oak Ridge Boys and Girls Club.
The Advisory Board is still looking for businesses willing to participate in the Job Fair! It is free to participate in the fair. To register as a vendor, simply email (send business name and names of attendees) to Matt Reedy at mreedy@oakridgetn.gov who can assign you a table. You must pre-register in order to participate.
