If you plan on taking any of your classes on field trips next year, please email me:  location of trip, purpose, full day/half day, weekend/night, grade level and when (I am just looking for which month you are planning on). 

Final Grades - Timeline for Posting  

Jackie sent an email out yesterday with all of the details/dates as to when grades are due for 4th MP and Final Exams.  As a side note, this year we did a great job with getting grades and comments in on-time and accurately.  Thank you for that!  Let's keep that going for 4th MP and Final Exams.  

If any other items come up I will be adding them to this post and sending out an updated link.  Hopefully then everything will be in one place.

Summer Learning:

Looking to learn, share, collaborate using the edcamp model  The edcamp model is driven by conversation and is a democratic forum. An edcamp is not a lecture or a meeting, but an engaging forum that expands upon a focused topic. The technology and learning edcamps are voluntary and will focus on technology integration and new and emerging approaches to learning. All are invited to participate, present, and share.
