I hope you enjoyed your break. It sure is nice to get some time off at this time of year. It's hard to believe that we only have a few weeks left in the semester. Please see the notes below. Thanks.
9th and 10th grade meetings this week
I would like to meet with 9th and 10th graders this week to explain the testing week schedule. Thursday will be 9th graders and Friday 10th. Please release them at 8:50. We'll meet in the lower caf.
Check your schedule for testing week
Please check the testing week schedule (click on the title). If you see any issues, please let me know. I am still working on proctoring schedules and special ed, but it's getting very close to being complete. Concerning special student classes like ELA or Math camps, I'll be meeting with folks who are working on those next week.
NYSCATE tech conference
Turn It up conference on Jan. 26. This is taking place at the Corning/Painted Post Middle School. Check it out. It's pretty affordable, so I should be able to help if a few people would like to go.

Brad Hurtig - Possible speaker
Check this speaker. There's a demo video, and he looks very engaging. I've contacted his agent for a possible booking next fall.
Finger Lakes Parent Network
See the document linked above. I received this over the break.
Go Guardian trial extended
Our free trial of the Go Guardian Teacher software has been extended to mid January. Give it a try!
Here is the original message from Denny:
Go Guardian is the monitoring and filtering system that we use for Chromebooks used by students. It is effective both on campus and away. GoGuardian for Teachers has various features, and I am not well versed in it, but one thing it allows is for the Teacher to observe the CHromebook desktops of selected students during sessions lasting up to two hours.
About a dozen people so far have been invited to test the software,and at least five of them have done so, and comments I've received are favorable. If you would like to try GoGuardian for teachers during the week ending Dec. 22, please send me a reply e-mail. More product information is available here: https://www.goguardian.com/
