Media / Technology Project Support
This year Connie Bacolor will be available every other cycle to help support you with any media and technology projects or activities.  If you want some help with teaching the digital citizenship lessons, doing a breakout activity, coding robots, working in the lab, or with any other types of projects or activities, please just let Connie know.  Here is her calendar.  You should all have access under "other calendars" in your Google calendar as well.  The days that say FLEX at the top are the days that Connie is available to help support you.  Just send her an email and let her know how and when she can help.



Have you checked in with your "swim buddy" lately? 

Learning Lab will be dedicated to helping students reach their Core 5 usage goals this year. This will give our instructional support staff the opportunity to intervene on specific skills identified by Lexia. In addition to before school opportunities for our early arrivers, Tina will also support students during lunch recess. Please begin to identify students that would benefit from a consistent visit to the lab (either in the morning or at lunch recess) due to their identified gaps, not meeting usage or due to limited technology availability. Two-three days per cycle may work best for most students, but let's be sure they are the same letter days each time for tracking and accountability purposes. 

Please sign your students up here and thank you for communicating this opportunity in a positive way to families at your upcoming conference.
