Something Personal
This is your brain on deep reading! This podcast was shared with me this week from one of our lead learners, and it was quite fascinating. Check it out!
Something Professional
Lockdown FYI
Next week we will have an unannounced lockdown.
From our friends in tech
This week, Remind announced that they were joining the ParentSquare family. In the email Remind sent to communicate this, they shared that nothing would change for users, with RemindHub continuing to operate as usual for customers. Following the announcement, we reached out to our Remind representative and will continue to communicate with them regarding any implications for 2024-2025.

In alignment with other district
account settings, we will be updating the password requirements for staff
Infinite Campus accounts on December 14. Passwords for Infinite Campus will
need to be 14 characters and will be required to be changed every 180
days.
If your Infinite Campus password
isn't currently 14 characters and/or hasn't been changed in the past six
months, please log into your account and update your password. A tip sheet
on how to do so can be seen here. If you don't do so by
December 14, you will be required to change your password when first
logging in on December 14.
If you need further assistance

protecting student and staff data.

Budget Heads Up
On January 19th at 8 am we will have our official budget meeting. Because we do not have a formal management team due to the changes in SIT, please have a department or level representative plan to join this meeting in order to speak on behalf of the team. Mrs. Pickering, who is cc’ed on this email, is our BOE member assigned to our budget team and may be joining us if she is free (welcome, Nancy!). Like the past five years, we will review the requests that you have made for your level/department, talk about it as a group, and then will use that meeting to create our budget for 24-25.
A few need-to-know items:
- Here is the link to fill out your
requests; please have this filled out a week before the January 8th: CLICK
HERE FOR BUDGET FORM . Level leaders will be adding
this to the agenda prior to this date!
- I will be sharing the budget
expenses, by level, with level leaders at our meeting this Friday. If you
do not have a level leader, please swing by to see Paula on Friday to get
the amount (department).
- Our budget for this year will be frozen January 1.
This mean spending should be in to Paula prior. On January 1, all money
will go to a common line and we will make any larger, school-based
purchases. In the past, we have purchased some larger items for levels and
teams with remaining funds, so please know it’s okay to not spend it
all…it gets put toward the common good.
