Mrs. Hladun's Tidings
I am so proud of our teachers, students, parents, and staff for their efforts to manage this transition. Even in moments of significant challenge, everyone continued to look for solutions, to demonstrate patience and grace, and to try to keep a sense of humor about it all.
As you've likely read in Mr. Leaman's updates, the district is well aware of the challenges with technology and they are working hard to bring our systems in line with the demands we are facing. I don't know if everyone knows this, but we actually get our internet from PCOE through a secure network, but that means that there are many layers to our internet - our site use, our district use, and the entirety of Placer County school's use. Often the problems we face aren't district issues, but instead are rooted in PCOE's infrastructure or even in the infrastructures of the programs we use (Google, Flip Grid, Safe YouTube, etc...). Our district is doing it's part to boost our ability to access the internet as we need to. We are also excited to be introducing some new technology into our classrooms starting next week that should make sharing documents with our interCONNECT learners more smooth!
