I continued work on the laptop carts. Items that needed to be addressed were : updates, changing the wireless networks, and renaming.

I continued work on removing desktops from the teachers rooms. I created used a map of the elementary school and created a key to be able to keep track of the classrooms that were either not successfully removed from the domain/unregistered, successfully removed from the Active Directory, black desktops (not to be removed from the domain/unregistered), and computers that were not attempted yet.

Part of our PLP group met Monday afternoon to create a back to school letter, research teamwork ideas for rain plans, and established official groups for both rain plans and outdoor plans, and made bookmarks that will be color coded (to match the school T-shirts) for the agendas for the day.

We created a draft of the first day letter to be included in the mailing to all staff of the district. We also created a draft of the first day agenda.

The minutes were recorded and sent to Dr. Krantz, our superintendent, for review and feedback.

Interviews were conducted for a long term substitute and a 6th grade contracted position. I was a part of the interview team for both of those activities. I created a list of questions for the positions.

I met with Mr. Chris Cobb (elementary principal) and Dr. Krantz, our superintendent, to discuss more details of the PLP project's first day event.



On Thursday a portion of my PLP team met to plan more for the first day events and professional development. I took minutes of the meeting.

We also finalized the letter to be included in the mailing to the staff at the beginning of August.

I developed a letter to be sent to those who were initially trained in January 2012 (with the assumption that they would eventually train other staff members) to notify them that they will be responsible for training a group of people in eChalk for the first day professional development.

I also created a google spreadsheet to keep track of the items that we ordered/purchased, arrived/have, and donated for the stations and the day. It also keeps track of the monies spent and serves as a rudimentary budget.
