Faculty Notes

Happy Friday!

I hope you had a great week!  Hang in there, then end is near!

Introduce Yourself to Evernote

Recently, I began using Evernote to keep up with all kinds of things: meeting notes, web sites, checklists, you name it.  This free app is downloadable on most any device, including the MacBooks you have been issued.

I invite you to read this article about how Evernote may be used in education.  With the coming 1:1 program, you may find this to be a very useful tool.

General Announcements

Here are some things to keep in mind as we head into the new week:

Division Meeting

We will have a division meeting Monday afternoon in room 214.  The primary focus of the meeting will be ideas regarding an advisory program.  I will share with you some things that I learned at a recent conference on this topic.

Liz Carter

Liz Carter will be speaking to our students about social networking issues in two separate assemblies this week.   The schedule is as follows

Tuesday, April 12

7th and 8th Grades
2nd period (immediately following announcements)
Old Gym

5th and 6th Grades
6th period
Old Gym

Choral Assembly

We will be on Activity Schedule this Wednesday as our choral department presents music from their spring concert.

Scavenger Hunt

Kathy Pirtle has once again put together a fun day for our 8th-graders this Friday.  They will be conducting the annual Scavenger Hunt to coincide with their recent study of Treasure Island.  This always shapes up to be one of my favorite days of the year!

Thanks for your hard work this week.  You guys are the best!

Have a Great Weekend!
