I have asked all students to bring their own device to be able to work on Study Sync in class this week. All on-campus technology is currently being used for CAASPP testing. I thank you for your understanding.

During testing all electronic devices must be kept at home, a teacher's desk, or in a student's locker. Electronic devices include phones and Apple watches. All students are required to bring a book in print to read if they are able to complete the test early. Digital readers are not allowed during testing.

EXTRA CREDIT: The Great Mail Race (10 points) due Wednesday, April 12, 2017.

Our school's 6th grade students were selected to participate in the Great Mail Race.  I have attached the instructions along with the student's letter from the school who has selected PVIS.  
 
Write a letter addressed to the following: 
 
Hailey Block 6-7
Mrs. Oetinger's class
Indian Crest Middle School
139 Harleysville Pike
Souderton, PA 18964
 
The Great Mail Race does not use last names in the letter. Draft a response to letter attached from Hailey and turn in the letter not later than Wednesday, April 12, 2017 for 10 points of extra credit. 
 

Study Sync

We are currently piloting the text Study Sync. The majority of the text is found online: https://connected.mcgraw-hill.com/connected/login.do
 
Study Sync also offers students an application (app) available on all mobile phones named "Study Sync." I highly recommend students to download this app, as it allows students to work offline and uploads the student's work when their device is connected to a Wifi connection; therefore avoiding any excessive data usage.  
 
I have requested students bring their devices and headphones or earbuds to class Tuesday through Friday, as we are limited in class to our access to technology.  
 
I deeply appreciate your cooperation in this measure and look forward to a successful pilot of the text Study Sync.
