Due to forecasted rain and thunderstorms, we have made the decision to reschedule the event. Our new date for Outdoor Education will be Monday, November 2nd.
While we know the students have been looking forward to going this week, we want to ensure they get the full outdoor experience and enjoy a wonderful day full of great, lasting memories—without the storm clouds!
We apologize for any inconvenience this schedule change may cause for your family, and we truly appreciate your flexibility and continued support.
The initially planned AI Family Guide Core Connection conversation is being rescheduled to January 20, 2027 due to team availability. In its place, families are invited to join Matt Langes, Director of Innovation & Learning, and Art Andersen, Director of IT, for a hands-on Core Connection focused on helping families better understand and use Lightspeed Parent Controls.
The session will include a brief overview of how the tool works, followed by workshop time for families to get set up, explore available settings, and ask questions.
Families are encouraged to bring their child’s District device, along with a personal phone or device they use at home. SAs and/or Technology Support Associates will be available throughout the session to provide individual support and help troubleshoot questions.
Outcome: Families will leave with a clearer understanding of Lightspeed Parent Controls, how to access and use available features, and how the tool can support conversations and expectations around technology use at home.
