Microphones
As many of you start to use your microphones, you may notice that it does not work or does not work well or hold a charge. The microphone system has been in the building since it opened in 2013. The system was even upgraded in 2019(ish). However if you have not used your microphone the battery may have reached it's end of life. If you are having issues please let me know and we can you a new battery and get your system working.
We do not collect the microphones they are expected to be stored in your AV closet or plugged in at your desk for use during the school year. Each room classroom should have their own.
Once you start using it, the worst part is the regret you have for not using it sooner! ;)

Focus - Grades posting
| Here is all I can currently tell you from one of our district level admins. "There are a number of issues that have yet to be resolved around the final posting of grades. We met with Focus this morning to review all the needed changes. We are hopeful that they can address these items before the posting window opens on October 1st. The decision on the posting window will be done later this week and may be a last minute decision giving Focus the most time possible. There has been PD created for the currently available process for posting grades." I personally am speechless. |  |
Canvas Students
I am unaware if the removing of students is up-to-date in Canvas. Again it is just a PITA for teachers and students. Students and actual grades should be correct in Focus (however see above!). From my district level Canvas peeps... "Our night upload of data is adding new students buy not removing the dropped students. - There is a ticket in and it has been escalated"
LanSchool Air
 | LanSchool Air seems to be working much better now. The icon is (or should be) on your desktop. If you want some help, I'd be happy to show you how to use it and its best feature of "Allow Only" websites." Do not use LanSchool Air in a wired computer lab. Continue with regular 'ol working just fine LanSchool! |
Student Chromebooks
Please do NOT send students down to get a second chromebook. We barely have enough Chromebooks for our students. If they forget theirs on test day... Take advantage of the teacher moment and KARE - ACCOUNTABLITY.
