As we continue our OSOB journey, itโ€™s also time to prep our visual masterpieces for the upcoming art showcase!


For 3rdโ€“5th Grade Teachers: Please hold onto your students' self-portraits for the time being. To help with the display process, the following materials will be placed in your mailboxes:


  • Construction paper for mounting.

  • Two cans of spray adhesive (per grade level).

  • A full class set of student artwork labels.


The Deadline: Please have students affix their artwork onto the construction paper and place a label in the lower right-hand corner before April 17th.


A Note for Kโ€“2: Don't worry, your turn is coming! Kโ€“2 students will begin their artwork after Spring Break with the help of their buddies.

Tech Tidbits and Information

Chromebook Troubleshooting Tips


Here's a how-to slideshow with some basic troubleshooting tips for chromebooks. It includes information on how to fix a sideways screen, clearing your cache and turning off accessibility mode.


Vivi Updates - Extended Screen


For those who wanted to extend their desktops instead of mirror your screen you now can! Using the desktop vivi app you can set up multiple screens. Here's a quick how-to from microsoft or please reach out to Kristine to help!


YouTube Update


Elementary students cannot access YouTube as of June 2025. While this has its good points it may create a wrinkle in your teaching if you want students to utilize secondary video sources. If you have any questions or need support finding other options please reach out to Kristine. :)


Daily Sub Tech Capabilities


New this year, daily subs will use a chromebook issued from the LRC. These devices can connect to Vivi using classlink, however, daily subs do not have the ability to print.


They also do not have access to many Classlink and instructional apps. Please keep this in mind when you are planning an absence.


Below is a snapshot of what you're daily substitute will see in classlink.
