Techno-Parapros!!
We have Techno-Parapros! High
Point’s Parapros worked with Mrs. Dennis and Mrs. Dierdorff Friday to learn
tips and tricks for using the Interactive Whiteboards and the “Easy Interactive
Tools” software. If your software is not version 4.11, please let Sol
know so he can update it.
Cafeteria Corner
Teachers:
Students who owe the cafeteria monies, will need to have their report cards
held until balance is paid in full. Parents have been reminded in the
newsletter and weekly account letters. This is a Fulton County
policy. We have been reminding the older students also.
If you receive
an email with cafeteria monies owed, this means you have a student on the
list. Please hold the report card and email me to check if they have paid
before giving the report card. Thank you!

Air Testing
Representatives of GLE Associates, Inc. (GLE), an environmental consulting firm subcontracted by Fulton County Schools, will be coming Monday, October 17, 2016, around 2:30 pm, to perform initial (short-term) radon screening on behalf of FCS. The radon screening is being performed to assess the potential radon levels within occupied areas of FCS schools and administrative/support buildings. Based on the type of construction we do not anticipate issues but are conducting this system-wide testing to establish a new baseline record for all facilities.
FCS’s subcontractor, GLE, will be visiting our school to perform the air quality testing. The radon testing devices use charcoal and are non-hazardous. For each occupied, ground contact room with a desk, a device, which is pictured below, will be placed on a desk, or other surface in the room. If a surface is not available, a device will be hung from the ceiling, wall or whiteboard. Please do not disturb this device, as it must remain in place for a minimum of 48 hours without interruption. A technician will return in approximately 48 to 72-hours to retrieve the devices.Thank you for your cooperation!

Coverage in LabPlease make sure that you are not sending students to the lab without adult supervision!!! This is a huge safety concern and teachers will be held liable.
If you need students to get on a computer and you cannot accompany them, please send them with a Golden Ticket to the media center. Ms. Hoffman or Ms. Dennis will be more than happy to supervise them if a computer is open. Thanks!!!
******VISUALS OF BEST PRACTICE*******
In
Ms. Evans’ 2nd grade math class, students are working on a Framework
activity called Measurement Giants. Each group had to build
a giant out of butcher paper. They had to create the different
giant body parts based on feet and yard measurements. Then, they had to
work together to put all of the giant body parts together. Lastly, each group
needed to write word problems comparing the two giants created. They were
actively learning!
