If you are able to give the aReading or aMath to a Tutorial student before Friday, 9.10, that would be helpful, but is not required.
Who needs to make up aReading &/or aMath? On Thursday, 9.9, Lindsay O'Brien will email a list of students who need to make up one or both assessments.
When & where will make ups be? On Friday, 9.10, please send students to make up aReading &/or aMath using the following schedule.
6-1 Students - 1st hour - Cafe
6-2 Students - 2nd hour - Cafe
7th grade - 3rd hour - Cafe
8th grade - 4th hour - room 20/Maxine Quakenbush's room
Communication to families - Will be emailed to U5 families from Dayna Brown in November
21-22 Staff Guidance for E-learning Days - These are the days that, prior to last year, would have been "snow days."
If stress, anxiety & life are too much, our EAP benefits are a great resource to support personal wellness & self care.
The U5 IT Director asked that I pass along that "We have noticed many incoming tickets for “battery issues” from KJ for our new Dell 3100 Chromebooks. Tickets state the devices are not turning on but once we charge them for 10 to 15 minutes the Chromebooks turn on as normal.
Essentially what is happening, students aren’t charging their devices, letting them drain all the way down, or using an incorrect charger, such as a cell phone or tablet charger. This can damage the battery and eventually the battery will need to be replaced."
Please help me spread the word to our students to charge their devices when they are not using them, as well as using the appropriate chargers for their devices. I shared this information with our families, too.
I'd love to share with Kingsley families the great things happening in your classrooms! Send a photo or two to Stacie with a couple sentence descriptor to be shared on the KJHS Facebook, Instagram & Twitter.
Sometimes all of us need to run errand during a plan time. You do not need to ask permission to do so, but we need to know who is in the building.
If you need to leave for a bit, please remember to sign out. This form is in the KJHS Google Classroom.
