Spring Fling Dance- is scheduled for Tuesday April 23rd, 2:45-4:30. Chaperones are needed.
A big Thank You to Officer Brian Pitt for talking to our students yesterday about his career in law enforcement, specifically about his specialty, computer forensics. This tied in well with Officer Whitney Meissner's message to our kids last week about internet and phone safety. Brian works for a number of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to fight technology-based crime and did a great job of explaining to our students how data storage and retrieval works on social media, phones and other devices. The big takeaway-nothing ever disappears from the internet and nothing is secret!
Thought for the day:
Follow up to the earlier post this week regarding engineering with Spheros: we can now control their movement and colors in more complicated scenes with obstacles and patterns.
Don't have time in the morning for your child(ren) to have breakfast.
No worries, we have breakfast ready daily in each building cafeteria.

Did you know that all of our 7th and 8th graders are learning the fundamentals of robotics programming? Today's challenge in Mrs. Kato's room was to use their Chromebooks to program and control Spheros-rolling balls that students can control the speed, direction and color of.

Do you know a middle school girl who is curious about technology? Camp Infinity is a one-week summer technology camp for girls entering grades 5th-8th in Fall 2019. Camp Infinity introduces girls to computer and internet technologies through hands-on activities. Campers are split into two groups according to the Fall 2019 grade level: 5th-6th grade and 7th-8th grade. Campers in grades 5th-6th will create their own web page using HTML and program Dash robots. Campers in grades 7th-8th will create their own web page using HTML and program EV3 or Vex robots. In addition, students will participate in mini- sessions that highlight programming skills and real-world uses of technology. Campers will also get an opportunity to meet with women who work in technological fields and explore career options in technology. For more information, please visit the camp registration page at https://mymcwt.secure.force.com/Events/cnp_paas_evt__ExternalRegistrationPage?Site_Id=a2N0a000000dm0nEAA.
