Saturday, September 10

Hi,
I hope your first week went well.  With the exception of some self inflicted schedule gaffes, it went OK for me.  I hope the A-D rotation is working out well for you.  The biggest challenge is the middle school art rotation.  But as Falcons, we love challenges! Let me know how I can help you as the year progresses. Thanks. 

Student Meeting File
Having a student meeting after school or during the morning break?  Please put it here.  
This file is in staff share / a-schedules-calendars. I've also linked it from the master "links" tab. The file will help us to coordinate meetings.  Everyone has edit rights, so please be careful not to write over other stuff. Any questions, let me know. 

Chromebooks:
Please remind your students to turn in their signed Chromebook permission forms by Tuesday (to the Main Office) or they will not receive a Chromebook on Wednesday Period 1 with the rest of the students.  Knowing how important this is to many classes in the high school, we could use your help.  Please speak with your students about this in class.

Castle Learning Info
Let's use this program to its potential.  It's great for review.  All of the files here are posted in staff share / tech / Castle Learning files. 


Google Classroom - Guardian Email Summaries
Please check this video to see how  you can include parents in Google Classroom. This is a really nice feature. While I'm thinking about videos, I found this video pretty quickly.  You don't really need to create your own videos if you don't have the time/inclination to do so. There are so many good things out there.  Just  search and include them in some Google Classroom lessons.
