Going Paperless!


Ms. Carter - Making it Happen!

Ok, so we are not totally paperless but we are making steps in the 21st Century direction!

 Today we highlight our amazing secretary Ms. Lou Carter for taking the lead on breaking down the amout of paper we use by inviting parents to fill out a digital New Student Form when they join the TES family!  Once entered by the parent, this information is digitally communicated to a secure file viewable only by essential personnel rather than multiple copies made and placed in respective mailboxes.

TES Google Classrooms

Way to go Mrs. Chaney:  Spotlight Media Specialist

for using Google Classroom!

  

For the first time this year students logged-in to their LCPS Student Google Accounts (*note email is turned OFF for elementary students) and accessed a PAPERLESS online classroom platform where an assignment was waiting for them from Mrs. Chaney.

  Students then used Google Docs and Google Drawing to create original bookmarks using a template "passed out" to each student by Mrs. Chaney through the Google Classroom she created for each class.  This is all in part to Mrs. Chaney adding 21st Century Learning to Flex Friday Resource Rotations.  We cannot wait to stop by the library and select a bookmark made by one of our own TES students!!
