BLS Back-to-School Work Calendar: Here is a link to the BLS back-to-school work calendar. You will receive more details about the EME-specific schedule/ details in August.

End of Year Staff Party: Save the date for our End of the Year Staff Party on Friday, June 9th at 3:30pm at Lifty’s! Let’s celebrate all we have accomplished together this year by connecting over drinks, food, and, if you’re up for it, a friendly game of sand volleyball!!! A few light appetizers will be provided. All staff and families are welcome. Please RSVP here.

Google Change (From Scott McDonald): If you are someone who frequently uses Google Workspace products (forms, docs, sheets, slides), then you should be aware of pending security changes.  Beginning next Wednesday, anonymous public users will no longer be able to access your Google documents without first signing in with a Google account.  Example:  If you share a Google sign-up form for your families, they would be prompted to sign into Google before signing up for the activity. Both district and non-district accounts would work just the same.  A user who is already signed into a Google product would see no change whatsoever.   Why?  By simply signing into a document, a user has some accountability and responsibility for what they view or edit.   If you feel that this change will negatively impact your work, please feel free to reach out.   Our IT team will do our best to work with you to provide alternative solutions while also ensuring we keep our documents and data safe.
