Thanks to everyone for all your work in preparing for our summer trainings!  It truly is a team effort!
Almost everyone will need to check out a projector.  Ben Hicks will be at our training and he is bringing 4 from the SDE.  Next week there should not be a problem.   The next week is when it might be close.   Let's make sure if you have a projector/document camera combo that you bring it to Saks Middle next week.  There are at least 5 of those, and I think there are 6. 

FYI: Friday, June 21st,  I will be at a RSS planning meeting in Montgomery. 

Update:
New principal at Handley Middle School : Lynn Robinson:  lrobinson@roanokecityschools.org

News you can use:

We will host some middle school training. July 8-11 and 15-18 at White Plains Middle School.  Very limited. 

6th grade year 1, 7th grade year 1, 8th grade year 1 and 7th grade year 2. 

I have contacted the principals.  Shelley will begin contacting the teachers who have contacted us litterally begging for this training. 

Thanks to Barry and Jason for being flexible and helping us provide this training  to our teachers.  

July 12:  will be AMSTI homecoming for all AMSTI Equipment.   Check your car, your spouses car, your kids car, your closet, basement, garage... you get the idea.  Bring anything and everything that belongs to JSU/AMSTI.  We are going to label all equipment with your name and JSU AMSTI AND make a list of materials that are checked out to everyone.   We are going to bring the camera boxes from the vault and get all cameras back in their home box.  Then we will designate one person who will check out random items to staff and ensure that when that item is returned it is "checked" back in and placed back in its home. :)  Just some housekeeping that needs to be done.

By looking at the calendar, it appears everyone will be here on July 12th.  Kay and Amber have a PD here but their equipment can still have a homecoming.  :) 

Next question:  who wants to be the check out person? I'm thinking the new PD person, whomever that may be.

August 16 and August 20:   is CLEAN 3170 day.   Science has begun this process.  Now it will be Math's turn to clean out the math stuff from 3170 and the PX.  Consolidate and figure out what can be given to teachers when you work with them in the schools.  Again, looking at the calendar, it looks like everyone will be here.  Even though it is Math clean out day, when math is working at the PX, science may want to check out some of the stuff that is in the repo math kits.  You may be able to use it.  I know one of those kits has a balance in it. 

Have a great weekend!
