Thursday MM - Day A

Good Morning!

At our next faculty meeting - April 17th - we are going to discuss the opportunity to shift the Technology in our school by joining the "MLC."  

Read the information below from Dr. Weycker and follow the link to be informed before the meeting next Wednesday the 17th.

• Intent Forms are due April 19 for schools wishing to allow students and staff to bring their own devices to school for instructional purposes. This form is on the Technology Department’s webpage and can be found at http://wsfcs.k12.nc.us/Page/69938. This is not a pilot (this is not a test…it is the real deal!)! We are providing this opportunity for schools who express an interest in providing instruction in a mobile setting with students bringing their own devices. The training to help teachers prepare themselves in preparation for the school year is extremely important. We are willing to flex times and work with schools but the amount of training we are requiring is minimal to the amount we believe it could be to be successful. After April 19 and the forms are collected we will begin the process of determining the training schedule. Schools who are interested in becoming a MLC campus will be able to schedule the training at their site. Others may require pairing with another school or coming to a common ground for training.  This is an exciting opportunity but truly requires teachers making adjustments such as going from being the deliverer of instruction to the facilitator.

Silvia forwarded an e-mail form Jordan Callaway our amazing PTA president regarding our assistance at the Spring Fling on May 3rd.  Please reply to her sign-up genius and let's all work together to create a great event to build our school culture.

I am at a STEM meeting this morning at Atkins.  We also have a PTA board meeting at 1pm this afternoon.
