*Hapara has been purchased thanks to the TRINITY CITY COUNCIL and Mayor Vaughn Goodwin!!!! This is a process and there are somethings that have to taken care of on the business end, and administrative end before we start using this management series.
* Mrs. Fowler & Mrs. Clinton are working hard every day and are trying to create new lessons to help teachers and students use the Chromebooks.
*I do plan to conduct Chromebook meetings with 7th period classes in about 3/4 weeks. I am trying to wait for the following: Hapara working, student issues ( Hacking, not charged, losing CBS, not doing what supposed too, etc. If you think of issues you are experiencing please let me know. I do plan on including all teachers and students in this grand adventure of learning and improving!!
