Casino Night
A few reminders about Casino Night:
-On the doc below you just mark yes if you can go.  It is a lot of funPlease mark if you can go by February 13th that way we can go over jobs for the night at the February 15th staff meeting.
-I will sub 2 hours for the teacher that has the most parents go from their class.
- Please fill out the google doc below by February 8th.  If you are stuck, Laurissa Freels is more than happy to give ideas or help. Her email is mrs.freels@me.com. If you have an idea of what your project is please put that information on the doc below.

YouTube on Chromebooks
YouTube is now accessible from all Chromebooks for students that login using their RCSDKids accounts. In compliance with COPPA and CIPA, the District has updated the content filter to ensure the safety and security of content accessed and shared when using YouTube.  If something is getting by the filters please submit a ticket
