Every classroom teacher will need to send an email each day (even if all of your students were &#8220;present&#8221;).  Please set an alarm or do whatever you need to do to get in the habit of doing this each day without a reminder from April.  Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Technology Support for Families: <\/strong>(From Becky in IT) \u2013\u00a0The student support line, 541-355-8700 has been successful helping students with their iPads, thanks to school staff, instructional coaches, site technicians, and IT helpdesk folks. The calls coming to the 8700 line have reduced to 15 or less per day and are now specific to school sites.\u00a0 Beginning November 2, 2020, we will return to the typical model where these calls will go directly to the schools for support.\u00a0 The helpdesk will no longer receive the calls or voicemails.\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The phone number, 355-8700 will still be used by families.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If needed, your tier 1 support staff member can continue to reach out to your site technician or the helpdesk for support. Here is a simple\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/14Pb5fza24qaA4RdHVx1UiNKOVIh5vwYA\/view\">Tech Help Flow Chart\u00a0<\/a>that shows how a student can get help with their iPad.  Families should continue to work with their internet provider to help with equipment, network, or internet issues. Calls are currently going to your tier 1 support staff member\u2019s phone line.\u00a0 We will continue to use this phone line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>YouTube News: <\/strong>(From Amy Tarnow) \u2013\u00a0As of October 26th, 2020, teachers of students in grades K-8 will have the ability to individually approve YouTube videos. This will allow these teachers and students to more predictably access educational content that might live outside of our strict filter setting. With this power comes<strong> <\/strong>great responsibility. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The approving teacher\u2019s name will be associated with videos that they approve, and these videos will be visible for all students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade, not just that teacher\u2019s students.<\/span> For that reason, teachers need to be careful NOT to approve a video unless it directly supports instruction and learning goals for students.\u00a0 More information and directions on how to use this feature are contained in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/instructionaltechnology\/2020\/10\/20\/approving-youtube-videos-for-student-use\/\">this blog post\u00a0from our Instructional Technology Team<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ELL Department Newsletter:<\/strong>  Each month, the <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1uHu3sFyX43mAQvDEsQ-FPNSAN3gdBslK\/view\">ELL Department puts out a newsletter <\/a>and I share some of the information from that newsletter in the Eagle Essentials.
