TIS Chess Club

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:05:35 +0000

Dear Parents and Guardians:

Your child is invited to join the TIS Chess Club. This year the Chess Club will be meeting on Wednesdays May 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd from 3:30 – 4:30 in the TIS Lab.

The TIS Chess Club welcomes students of every ability level, from the complete beginner to accomplished grand masters. Everyone will learn new tactics, new strategies and will have FUN!

The membership fee for Chess Club is $10 (scholarships available) and is valid through their entire school career. This small fee will help to ensure that Chess Club will be able to continue next year. There are no refunds. Students will also receive a tournament style board and pieces in order to practice at home with friends and family.

Students MUST have a permission form signed by a parent in order to join. Please indicate below if your child will be picked up, or will be walking home on their own. Please be in the school driveway loop by 4:35 if you will be picking up your child.

Students are welcome to bring snacks to the Chess Club.

Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.

Mr. EarthTree

Teachers,

Here’s a great opportunity to explore teaching strategies infused with technology (and get credit!). I’m going to sign up for “Project-Based Approach.” Let me know if you do too! :)

Hat tip to Chris Delaney-Haynes for this.

New MacServer Address

admin — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:08:26 +0000

Teachers: Along with access to Google Docs, all of your students also have a username and password for logging in to the macs that enable them to store files in their folders. This will give them virtual access from nearly any Mac in the school. Now when students log in, they will automatically connect to folders that they share with teachers. (Thanks Chery!… and to Courtney for the new address.)

A shared folder for each grade level enables you to quickly distribute or collect files. Students have the right to delete any file in the folder, so be sure to save files in a safe place after students submit their work. Otherwise, you may have students accidentally deleting files that belong others. In other words, the shared folder shouldn’t be used to archive work.

Unlike students, teachers have to connect to the server in order to access this shared folder. Here’s how to access this shared folder.

Click on your desktop.
Click on “Go.”
Click on “Connect to Server…”
Type in “afp://macserver/UserData” and click on “connect”
Select the year folder that your students graduate. 4th=2020, 5th=2019, 6th=2018.
Select the year folder + group.

The Dollar Movies are Back!

Dollar movies are back! Be sure to thank your student council members. They successfully collaborated with the superintendent of TSD and the Palm staff to bring the dollar movies back. The first movie will be February 3, 2012…3:30 until it’s over. Of course, it will only cost a dollar.

The dollar movies will continue as long as all audience members are cooperating and following the rules. Take a look at his video to see what’s expected of audience members. [movie by student council]
