REPORT CARD MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP
For
several years, teachers and principals have requested that the
current
elementary report card be revised to more accurately reflect
the work students
do in classrooms. This past year, the Office of
Student Learning collaborated
with several schools to pilot new
report cards in language arts, mathematics,
social studies, science,
and social emotional learning.
Currently,
each report card is in a different stage of development as
teams have responded
to both teacher and parent feedback on each
report card. The elementary
principals met with Michele Castner and
Debbie Collins and decided that the
language arts report card was ready
to be tried at the division level.
Therefore, there will be a new language
arts report card for the 2019-2020
school year. LEAD will be developing
this report card in electronic form over
the summer. The paper version is
already done.
Therefore,
elementary teachers will implement the new language arts
report card in
2019-2020. Teachers will receive additional information,
including professional
learning in using this report card in early fall.
Thank
you,
Michele Castner
Director of Elementary Education

DI on TV!
Dear All,
NBC 29 and CBS 19
will be broadcasting tonight at 5 pm, 6 pm, and online an
interview with our DI Team, the Fantastic Fluffy Foxes. This fifth grade
team
created an original picture book, complete with illustrations to
educate others
about the dangers of trash. In addition to the picture
book, Trash is Trash No Matter What,
the team created an
original skit, rap, and scenery which they performed at the DI
Regional
Jefferson Tournament and DI State Tournament. The team was inspired by
their visit to the Wildlife Center of Virginia, with all the proceeds from
the book sale
going towards the Wildlife Center of Virginia. The book is
available on Amazon and
is also in the Crozet Library on display.
Members of
Fantastic Fluffy Foxes:

2) FOR THOSE NOT RECEIVING REPLACEMENT COMPUTERS
There is a newly released ACPS
2019-20 Windows 10 computer image available and you all are on this email
because your assigned teacher/staff computer needs to be updated. There
are a few different options available again this year for getting your laptop turned
in and updated. You can decide what works best for you below, options
include:
Option #1 (Before school year ends with Chris) – Log a ticket at
https://servicedesk.k12albemarle.org
to request your laptop be imaged between now and the last day of school (June 7
th).
Just like last year, I will label your ticket as a “project” in my work order
queue and reach out to you when I’m available at school to work on this.
I will work through these project tickets in the order received. Most
folks prefer this option and while I will do my best to accommodate if we get
to the last day of school on June 7
th and you still need the
reimage, please plan on option #2 or #3.
Option #2 (Over summer may not
be Chris) – Coordinate this during summer professional development at a
building or site. There will be technical support available at these
events over the summer where the reimage can occur – for example CAI at
Sutherland (6/11/19 – 6/13/19), PD sessions at Jouett (7/8/19 – 7/18/19), or PD
sessions at Henley (8/16/19) to name a few.
Option #3 (Over summer may not be Chris) – Drop off your laptop at Center One
(formally A-Tech) for reimaging over the summer. There will be a
technical support team at Center One during the course of the summer that can
help reimage your computer. I can pass along more details on this Center
One option as I learn more.
Please start planning for this project now by backing up your data. If
you need help with backing up your data, we can provide help with this.
Please reach out to your LTI Sandy Schaffer and I for help.
If you have any questions or need any help please reach out to Sandy and I.
Thanks!
Chris
