4/22/22

Just a reminder…there is an early release on Tuesday, April 26th. Students are dismissed at 1:30PM.

This week, Twin Groves and Woodlawn hosted their incoming 6th grade parent night.  A huge thank you to Vivek, Michelle, and Eli for serving as our 6th grade expert panel!  

CONGRATULATIONS to the Woodlawn scholastic bowl team on winning 2nd place at the Patriot Conference meet last night.  It was a close final game that came down to the last question.  You should all be so proud of your effort!  Best of luck to take home first place next week at the IESA Regional Tournament!

Device Collection and Information

8th Grade iPad Collection

8th Grade iPad collection will happen on Wednesday, May 25th. Students will be expected to turn in their iPad (inside of the case), charging cable, charging brick, and Logitech Crayon.

Non-Returning 6th or 7th Grade Students

Any non-returning students in grades 6 and 7 will need to leave their iPad (inside of the case), charging cable, charging brick, and Logitech Crayon, with the building Tech Aide for collection.

Returning Students in Grades K-7

Students in grades K-7 will keep their iPad and all peripherals over the summer unless they are not returning to D96 for the 22-23 school year. 

Any non-returning students will need to leave their iPad (inside of the case), charging cable, charging brick, and Logitech Crayon, with the building Tech Aide for collection.

Families who exit out of D96 after the last day of school will need to return all of their technology to the District Office over the summer. Any device not returned will be placed in lost mode and will not function.

Over the summer, some apps and services will continue to work at the student’s 21-22 grade level. Apps and websites like Dreambox, Lexia, Typing Agent, (etc) will be available to use over the summer but are not guaranteed to work at all times. The technology department will only be supporting the use of these apps in ESY or Summer School. 

As we get closer to August, we will roll-up student data and new services. Apps will also become available to them relative to their 22-23 grade level.
