Field Day Schedule The weather looks to be dry leading up to field day and hopefully any rain will hold off until Saturday. Bees, let your team leader know if you foresee an issue with this schedule. We can adjust it as needed. This was adopted from last year. Field day - Friday June 2nd Grades K-2     9-11am Grades 3-5     12-2pm Lunch All classes, except 1st grade, will eat in their classrooms on Tuesday, Field Day. Here’s the schedule for getting lunch from the cafeteria: 11:00 – 3rd Grade 11:15 – 4th Grade 11:30 – 5th Grade 11:50 – 2nd Grade 12:05 and other regular times per class – 1st Grade 12:35 – Kindergarten Teams coordinate plans for transition.

New Power Teacher Pro Roll Out - Trainers needed Mark Leach and the Student Information Support Team have been piloting a new Power Teacher Pro version, within our division, this year and they are ready to train a Brownsville Team of teachers for a 2017 -18 school year implementation. If you are interested, let Jason know and he will get a summer date to you as soon as possible.

  

No Teacher Desk Challenge Go on and google it...the benefits of more space in your classroom for students are clear. Will you take the challenge? Do you know someone who already has?

 

Tech that’s Leaving the Building Here is a message from Chris: Please have staff backup any data if needed from these machines before leaving for the summer. Recycling White MacBooks Silver iMacs (I have a laptop I’ll be updating with Windows 10 can use at Circ Desk Anne) Chubby Lenovos (x131e) (the 4th grade Chubbys are to be replaced for next year) EDEP (Afterschool) Dell Desktop in office (I have a laptop I’ll be updating with Windows 10 for this office) Thank you – Chris

 

Last Day of School Schedule Bee on the lookout for a last day of school schedule.We are currently accepting suggestions. When asked if we have a half-day schedule on file, Freda said, “We haven’t had one in a long time”.  We will definitely start having students who ordered a lunch, to go get them around 10:30am. We are anticipating about 30 students.
