FYI - Communication to Parents Regarding Technology
One reason for collecting Chromebooks previously distributed to families in the spring is to attempt to get 1:1 technology for student instruction during the week of September 8th.
Our largest group is about 120 students so if we can get that many Chromebooks back in the building that can be accomplished.
Class Lists
- We are still working on updating class lists and should have the most up to date lists completed on Monday.
- Class Lists will be distributed to parents the day prior to their Grade Level Open House.
An upcoming communication from Jared will have more details and the agenda for this week's Professional Development.
Literacy Center
A huge THANK YOU to Vicky for all of her efforts this week in re-organizing the Literacy Center. The "before" and "after" is truly amazing!
You'll notice that although we won't be using it as classroom space for specials there is an area dedicated to housing all of our Science resources. The Literacy Center will hopefully make a great place to store these shared Science resources where they can be easily located and shared.
