September Startup

All the students are back at school and the halls are full of activities.  Outdoor Fall sports are starting and technology in our schools is off and running at a fast clip.  The mobile labs are already being signed out for teachers in the classrooms to use for various online activities.

 The 1 to 1 student laptop program has been initiated.  We gave out 110+ HP 2102 netbook computers and sleeves to MMUHS incoming Freshman in the core group with Ms. Heiny, Mr. Turner and Mr. Richardson's classes.  Here is a link to more information on the project if you are interested:

Many of the schools in our district are redesigning their school's website.  Many of the teachers and staff have been working on getting their team pages up to date with current information.  The new website has some improved calendar features.  The athletics and activities pages are improved as well.  Take a look at one of the school sites to get an idea of what it can do:

Here is an inspiring video that we watched during the Teacher In-service created by the New Brunswick Public schools that shows how technology is changing in Education.

Hopes for an exciting and enjoyable school year filled with learning opportunities!
