iPad Showcases – Two iPad Showcase events were conducted at Jenifer Junior High School on March 20 and April 10. Over 100 educators were in attendance during the two sessions and lots of positive energy was generated. This year's iPad Focus Teachers did an exceptional job of leading the break-out sessions. Two 10-pack iPad drawings were awarded each night going to Jo Martin at Centennial and Cindy Agee at Sacajawea. The implementation of mobile technology in classrooms will continue next year, building on the solid foundation that has been laid.

SBAC Field Test – The SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment) is being administered to students in the District through April. The cooperation and patience of all involved has been outstanding and will mean that we are better prepared next year when the SBAC begins to count for our students toward requirements for graduation. I appreciate the efforts of all involved to complete the field test roll out this year.

We are on the home stretch of the 2013-2014 school year, so, GO TEAM! I know I can count on each of you to support student success until the final bells rings with the close of the school year on Thursday, June 6.
