Good Evening Computech Tiger Families,
This is Principal Berrett, with your weekly update as we enter week 11 of the school year. This week we will begin on Monday with even block schedule. Students will be attending periods 2, 4, 6, and 8 tomorrow, and then attending odd block periods on Tuesday. To better support students with distance learning, the district has launched a new partnership with Tutor.com to provide free online tutoring. Through Tutor.com, students can access homework and tutoring support in more than 120 subjects at the very moment they need it, even if it’s late at night or on the weekend. This exciting student support tool launched district-wide the week of Oct. 12 and is available every weekday from 2:00 PM to 9:00 AM and 24 hours on weekends. Students can access the service by logging into Clever and selecting tutor.com. If you want your student to have access to the ASES After School Program, please go to the link on the Computech website under the After School tab and fill out the enrollment survey. That allows us to provide them an invitation through Teams each day between 2:45 and 5:30pm. Students can utilize it at their convenience. The program is free and open to all students. Students are able to check out books from the Library. There is a tutorial on the Library page of computechstudents.com demonstrating how to request books. Students can pick up books Monday through Friday from 8am-3:45pm. If you have questions, you can call or text our librarian, Mrs. Ward, at 559-549-3758. Mr. Brown continues with our Tiger Lunchtime Lounge. You can join the fun by going into Teams, clicking on “Join or Create Teams”, and entering the code, zx8uc04. This week, a Halloween Costume Challenge Channel has been added, where students are able to post a costume picture for a chance to win pizza prizes. With regard to Halloween, students are able to dress up in attending classes on Friday, following Fresno Unified School District Standards of Dress, meaning that these costumes must not promote violence, drugs, alcohol, or involve weapons. We encourage students to participate in dressing up Friday, October 30th. Parents and students, we recognize that there are both challenges and opportunities associated with distance learning. One of the most important keys to success during distance learning is for students to be active participants. This includes unmuting and responding to teachers and peers, participating in class and small group discussions, utilizing the chat appropriately to communicate, and reaching out to teachers via Teams or email when needed. It becomes much more challenging for students that are not active in their learning, as it becomes difficult at times to know if students are truly present when cameras are off and there is no communication through voice, chat, or email. Please encourage your student to be actively communicating with teachers, that is currently the most critical indicator for students’ success. Our office remains open between 8am and 4pm. If you are in need of support, you can call us at 457-2640. Your quote of the week American author, coach, motivational speaker, and philanthropist, Tony Robbins, “Remember that you are in charge of your life. You can do anything that you set your mind to. Get in the right frame of mind, set some goals and attack the week. Be proactive and take charge and remember that you are awesome.” Have a Great Week and Go Tigers!
