Wednesday MM - September 10th

Early release day - keep the classroom focus on instruction.  Show your students your passion for using time wisely to ensure their academic growth.  

  • Lunch schedule is adjusted

  • No recess today - the playground is closed

We will convene in the media center 10 minutes after the last bus leaves campus.  Our PD will be system wide and take approximately 2 hours.  Please come prepared with;
  • A pen or pencil
  • NO other work
  • A great attitude
The PBIS team has met and wants to remind us that hospitality dues allow all of us to be supported.  The certified staff fee is $20 an the classified staff fee is $15.

Just wanted to touch base with everyone of what is going on in the testing world this week. On Thursday, September 11, 2014 the third graders will take the Beginning of Grade test. The test will start at 8:45 a.m. and we will do an all call when everyone is finished. There will be testing taking place in multiple areas around the school so please keep the halls and bathrooms quiet.

Test Administrators can pick up their materials on the stage Thursday morning starting at 8:00 a.m. Please remember that you can't leave these materials out of your sight.

If you have any question please contact

From the Gradebook Gurus,

For many teachers, there have been issues using the new installer feature for gradebook. This is due to restrictions in effect on teachers’ computers. We have found a way around this issue for those experiencing problems.

1. Use Internet Explorer (only for this one time installing the launch feature)
2. Choose RUN (Do not choose SAVE when you download the installer.)
3. View this step-by-step process with screenshots for more information or to share information with your staff:

We have had teachers try this method with success. We hope it will fix any installer issues you may have run into.

As a reminder, teachers CAN click the OLD LAUNCH at the bottom of the blue box if they need it in an emergency situation and cannot access the launch installer. But once the installer is successfully run one time, there should never be an issue.
