LRC Weekly Update

🎥 Live Event: The Opening Ceremony

We are thrilled to broadcast live segments of the Opening Ceremony right here in the LRC! It's a great way for students to experience the "Armonia" (Harmony) theme of the games and see global icons like Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli kick off the festivities.

• When: Friday, Feb. 6th starting at 1:30 p.m. (15-minute segments)
• Where: LRC
• Highlights: The Parade of Nations, the lighting of the Olympic cauldrons, and the artistic performances.
• Action: Sign up to reserve a spot for your class to stop by!

We hope to see you in the LRC!

Our VR collection is a hit! To keep the momentum going, we are planning a VR Book Station for use during LRC visits and need your help! This new station gives students the chance to virtually immerse themselves in the topics they are reading about, exploring everything from deep oceans to distant planets right here in the LRC.

How you can help: We are looking for donations of old smartphones (iPhone or Android) to serve as the display screens for our VR headsets.

Safety & Security Note: We know that "phones in school" can be a concern, so please rest assured:

• These devices will be wiped and used strictly as VR displays.

• They will not have cellular service or be used for communication.

• The devices will never leave the LRC.

If you have an old device gathering dust in a drawer, please consider dropping it off at the circulation desk!

The response has been so enthusiastic that our "book dates" are flying off the shelves! If any teachers have a spare moment and would like to help us keep the magic alive, we would love your help wrapping new books for the display. It’s a great way to see the new titles we’re featuring and get involved in the fun.

Thank you for considering!

Looking for a productive way to fill some time during the E-Learning day? We’d love for you to get a head start on Me, Frida, and the Secret of the Peacock Ring.

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.
