Once again, I had classes on the very first day of the school year while I was still trying to get everyone else rolling. Feeling frustrated that I have a half-time assistant and more students than a middle school.

Used student barcodes on computers for first time this year. It was a huge timesaver!!

Computer roll out was wildly stressful

We have zero time to set up our library, work with staff, etc because of the expectation that student devices would go out on Day Two.

Challenge: No assistant for the 1st time in 15 years doing this job. Nearly 600 students.
Solution: Re-instate assistant.

I had 6th grade do a reader survey (based on Pernille Ripp's reader survey) and it's been super awesome seeing student responses

Had eperience from last year to help me start the new year! Not a rookie anymore!

Devices were out and in student hands as quick as possible- Media beginning of year tasks came afterwards, this was a challenge.

I would appreciate more forthcoming information about devices. The only information I have received this year has been in response to emails or questions that I have sent to CO. Roll-out has felt bumpy and device numbers have not been working for being a true 1 to 1 program.

The tech crew was awesomely helpful getting everything up and running for the beginning of the year.

My announcements are going well.  We are using two students for the show now and I have a good crew.

However we have a
lot more students than what was projected (over 100).  We have hour long specials for 2-4th.  I teach all day and I have no assistant.

4th grade teachers wanted their student laptops before the first day of school.

Our district techs have been amazing in working through all of our issues.
KC at Help Desk is awesome too!!!

Juggling so many immediate needs has been very challenging.

Admin and teachers have been very patient and understanding when they need help or resources.

*Having K classes starting the third day of school and only for a half hour with the assistant the weeks before Labor Day was nice
*Getting the devices out and put in carts in alphabetical order K-2 was a big help getting them out this year
*No morning duties has been pleasant (just lunch and afterschool this year)
*Having students check books in and out and shelving some books themselves after two years has really been a big help this BOY (they are becoming better every year)

Programs and systems are in place, which is really nice.  Past us helped future us by getting stuff ready at the end of the year and we are grateful.

Had teachers help with roll out of devices.  4th grade put on their own stickers.  1st and 2nd helped sort iPads. Really helped.

computer roll put went well.
Only a few issues with internet.
I did have to teach classes from first day. That made process difficult.

Yay to Cindy Sturdivant for creating a culture of readers.  I think our circ. stats will go up this year.  Any ideas about how to hook the 10th-12th graders?

I do not think that is in the best interest of student safety to not have an assistant in such a large space.

Tech Dept. has been quite amazing for helping get things up and going this year.

We did "bookfairs" with some of our English teachers. We pulled popular titles and displayed them on tables and classes came in and checked out books. It really increased our circulations and other departments like Social Studies and the Arts have started collaborating with us more because of it.
