Principal Batten's Weekly Message
Friday (March 20) Update:
Due to recent technology issues with Chrome and HMH, Q3 work will be accepted until 11:59pm Wednesday March 25. During next week's NC Check-Ins at V3A, we hope to update all VCS laptops and verify laptop/student assignment so that any future updates can be pushed out to students having problems. Students MUST bring their VCS laptops in during testing to help with this process. Students, if you haven't completed the Home Internet Survey: please do so as soon as possible. Working with VCS IT, we suspect that home connectivity problems may in part be affected by the number of devices connected to home Internet/WiFi. We will continue working with VCS IT to solve the problems. I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend and we'll see you again Monday.
-Dr. Batten
