Special Thanks (New)
Food PTO
On behalf of the teachers, I want to thank the PTO and others for the food donations that fed the staff on Thursday evening and Friday afternoon. It was delicious and greatly appreciated.
Conferences
I wanted to that everybody that participated in collaborative conferences. What I observed was nothing short of awesome. Students worked very hard to showcase their learning and goals with you. Remember you can always request a phone conference with a teacher, if you are seeking the more traditional feedback that was apart of the traditional conference format. Below is a feedback form regarding collaborative conferences. CHECK OUT VIDEOS/PICTURES

Internet Safety Concern (New)
By now you are likely aware of an internet safety concern that has surfaced call Momo.
The “Momo Challenge/Game” begins with the recipient receiving a notification or watching a video which includes an image of a scary face/statue. The recipient is urged to perform potentially dangerous acts through intimidation techniques.
There is an attached a flyer put out by the National Online Safety Institute regarding this challenge.
This is a good reminder that all of us need to remember the importance of internet safety. No filter is 100% effective. Today we are addressing Momo, however tomorrow it may be something else. Being responsible and diligent regarding best practices around the use of technology is a practice that all can benefit from. Common Sense Media is a great resource for any human being that uses the internet. There is a link to Common Sense Media also included below.
