Week 9: 10-11-20

Good Evening Computech Tiger Families,

This is Principal Berrett, with your weekly update as we enter week 9 of the school year.  You can find this communication on www.computechstudents.com under the “Announcements” tab. 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.

The first quarter ended last Friday, October 9th. Unfortunately, the district grading system, ATLAS, went down last Friday.  District will be sending out first quarter report cards via email and those should be expected to come out at the end of this week.

This week we begin with a very small cohort of some of our students. To be clear, the goal with this first small cohort is to ensure they have a safe and reliable place to access internet and meals. They are continuing with distance learning-- this is not in-person instruction. We will reach out to families directly should your student be in one of our future designated cohorts.

This coming week, Counselor Ortiz will be presenting on School of Choice and High School Pathways.   All 8th grade students are expected to attend one of the two sessions.  One will be on Tuesday October 13th at 2:20 and another will be on Wednesday October 14th at 2:20.  The presentation will take place on Teams.  All 8th grade students were sent a meeting invitation this past Thursday.  

We are now 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.

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.

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.

​Our office remains open between 8am and 4pm. If you are in need of support, you can call us at 457-2640. Our Librarian, Mrs. Ward, has been very helpful with technology and device distribution and you can contact her during the school day on her Google line at 549-3758.

Your quote of the week from Mahatma Gandhi, “Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization.”  We value innovation, and different perspectives lead to better ideas, and greater accomplishments, when we learn to work together.  Our diversity allows us to learn from one another and become better.  It is important that all of you know that you are valued and appreciated, and we expect our Tigers to help one another to be the best we can be, including students, staff, and families.  Look to lift one another, and in so doing, you will also reach new heights.  Have a Great Week and Go Tigers!
