Nitty-Gritty

• TA Grading
• If you had a TA from the High School this year, you must put a Pass/Fail grade in for them in PowerSchool before Monday morning so that it is recorded for them in the gradebook.  If you are not sure how to do this, please see Mr. Modaff or myself.  In addition, anyone with TA's for 2nd semester they will start in your room next week.  

• Final Grading for Semester 1
• I know that this process can be confusing and since we only do it twice a year, it is hard to remember all the steps.  HERE is the How-To sheet.  If you have any questions at all, please let me know.  If it is a PowerSchool question, Brad is probably going to be able to answer it quicker, but if it is a question about the grading process, please see me or Mrs. Heun.

• Activity Account
• The fundraiser moneys have been added to the Google balanced sheet for each grade.  The amount carries over from year to year.  If you need the link sent to you again, please let me know.

• Email from Laura Grossman
• Please make note of the email that Laura sent to us on Thurs, 1/12, about work related injuries.  The email described the EMC OnCall Nurse process that you should follow if you suffer from an injury while at work.  Please see me first to report the injury and event and then you will call the OnCall nurse to find out the next steps.  She included Pdf's of the flyers as well.  Let Laura know if you have any questions.

Tech Know Tip

Have you restarted your device(s) lately?  :-). Here's your friendly reminder to make sure you restart it this week!  It really does help the device run better.

Monday morning restarts is a great way to start your week fresh or a Friday shutdown is a cathartic way of closing your week. A restart really does help your device work better- this week’s Chrome update was a great example. A restart is also a great troubleshooting skill- if something isn’t working correctly, restarting is a great place to start!

Friday Funny

This is so very true for me!  :-)
