The Task Force on School Climate and Culture has asked that each school have location/activity specific expectations posted at sites. You will find these expectations near the bathrooms, in the office, by the doors to the playground, and also on the bulletin board by the lunch room. In your mailbox is a set of three posters (all settings, classroom, and iPads) for your classroom. Thank you for helping our Lions know our expectations!
From the Teaching and Learning Department:
-Please share with your staff, these direct Links to Partner Up activities in Wayfinder: Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th
-Please share this document with teachers on how to mark a lesson/activity complete in Wayfinder. This is a helpful tool for keeping track of which lessons have been taught.
Two Notes from the Tech Department:
-Lately, there have been issues successfully streaming content to classroom Apple TVs. Apple TVs use AirPlay to display what is on your computer with your classroom projector. However, as of late, streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime have seemed to block their content being shown via this method. This is not something we can fix; this is intentional to try and stop folks copying their content. When video streaming is necessary in the classroom, teachers must physically connect their laptops to the HDMI wall outlet with cable and dongle, switch HDMI inputs on the projector and turn off Screen Mirroring on their Mac to the Apple TV.
-Please ensure that in your classroom, your HDMI wall outlet is being protected from furniture and being strained/pulled on. The cost to replace these outlets when they fail is around $500 and comes from our school budget. The port is delicate and can be easily damaged.
Next week is a B week
