Important Reminders
Apple Tour this Week - Tuesday, May 22nd
This tour is a group from Apple as a follow up from our Apple Distinguished School application this year.  Thank you so  much to everyone for being willing to offer up this tour during the end of the school year!  I really am wanting our campus to have this possible distinction, especially with the huge focus on technologies in learning over the last seven years!  They are wanting to see the learning in action as well as the info from our TCE ibook, to hopefully help them understand what specific tools we are using within instruction.   
Please remember that while the group is visiting specific classrooms, that we want to be showcasing digital learning in action throughout the building
