Casting and Airplaying to TVs
Technology Services has pushed a script to all site networks in hopes to resolve the issue of students being able to interrupt instructional time by casting or AirPlaying to classroom televisions. The following roles can no longer Cast or Airplay to the televisions: Guest Devices BYOD Devices RCSDKIDS Chromebooks (Chromebooks purchased by the District for student use) Please submit a SchoolDude ticket if a student is able to connect after today, so we can investigate.

One of the best ways to handle problematic behavior is prevention. If you can prevent behavior problems before they start, you’ll end up with a much happier classroom of students. Preventing behavior problems does require extra time and effort; however, it is a crucial and worthwhile investment that will save you time in the long run. Here are some steps for preventing problematic behavior.

Develop a healthy relationship with your students 
Spend time developing a strong classroom culture.   Allow the students to get to know you and to get to know one another.  
Make rules clear and be consistent
Kids can’t follow the rules if they aren’t sure what your expectations are. 
Provide structure and a schedule
Students appreciate when things are stable and predictable.  They know what the boundaries are and they know what will happen when those rules/boundaries aren’t followed.  
Praise good behavior and focus on the positive  
It is so easy to get caught up in the negative.  If we focus on the negative, we see more negative.  If we focus on the positive and explain and consistently model the desired behavior, it goes further.  
Teach social-emotional wellness
Using Second Step and classroom meetings, etc to help students process their emotions and relationships are KEY!
Plan ahead
This equates to less downtime and fewer issues in the classroom. 
Have class meetings
Be purposeful with how and when you set the meetings.  Start with team building-type questions. This allows for increased awareness of students with each other and leads to a positive classroom climate.

Reports in PTP
Looking to run student grade reports?  Here are two different reports that help.
Standard Score Report-You can run this report for any student. This report is helpful for anyone but also for admin, 504 coordinators, or RSP teachers.
Student Reports in PTP -You can run this report for any student in your class. Can break down the report by standard scores, assignment scores, or categories.

Placer Food Bank Linked above is a resource for the Placer Food Bank public food distribution schedule. This is something helpful to keep in hand for families in need not only during the holidays, but all year long. LiveScan Update The Roseville PD is no longer doing live scans for fingerprinting. Please refer parents to other resources. Fire Marshall Inspection Follow-up was completed with the fire inspector to clarify what each school site needs to have posted. Please review the following and make sure your site is ready to go. In the front office/in safety plan binder- easy to access: - Post the telephone number for the fire department. - List of who does what during a fire emergency. In each room by the door: - Post an evacuation map. - Instructions for what to do in an emergency (how do you account for kids, communicate, etc). This would be the evacuation part of your tactical plan. If your site has backpacks with the instructions in them, then there should be something posted

BUSINESS SERVICES Assemblies Involving Animals If you are hosting an assembly at your site that involves animals you may need to have parents sign the SIG Activities Waiver. All assemblies that involve animals on campus should be communicated to parents before the event. This can be done through an email, newsletter, blog, etc. If your students WILL be touching the animals, parents must fill out the SIG Activities Waiver. If your students will NOT be touching animals and will only be looking at the animals from a distance, you do not need to have parents fill out the waiver. Contact Amy Banks or Schelli Landreth with questions. EDUCATIONAL SERVICES LCFF Funds If you are placing any orders using LCFF money, here is a helpful resource to look at when determining if LCFF can be used. When in doubt, always reach out to your coach or Rachael. This is not an exhaustive list, but it provides examples. If it’s anything that involves paying people, please make sure to talk to Personnel befo
