Chromebooks for HOME Use
After a few snafus, we are now ready to distribute Chromebooks for student HOME use. We have very limited quantities available, and so information on how to acquire a Chromebook and/or Internet HotSpot for student home use is only being sent out to those students and their parents who have already expressed interest. If you know of a student that is interested in taking home a Chromebook, please have them see Deanna in the library. She will then email the necessary forms and information to the student’s parents. Staff will be copies on the email sent to parents so that you are aware of the procedures. Thank you!
Sign Up For I-Ready Training on October 8th
Weekly News
Parents love to see what is happening at school with their kids. Please share pictures or information that you want to share with me, or please call me and I will take pictures of the exciting activities in your class. We want to increase communication with our Wildcat families about our amazing school and how great our programs and events are.
Thank you to all of you who paid dues to the Social Committee. These dues help us pay for all sorts of fun activities such as Staff Meetings, Harvest Lunch, on-site and off-site Holiday shenanigans, End-of-Year Extravaganza and much more!!
"Mention group work and you’re confronted with pointed questions and criticisms. The big problems, according to our audience: One or two students do all the work; it can be hard on introverts; and grading the group isn’t fair to the individuals. But the research suggests that a certain amount of group work is beneficial."
So how do we make it fair and beneficial for all? This helpful article shares some great pointers! Please check it out!
