Nuts and Bolts

• Data Meetings are October 30 (K-3) and November 1(4-6) 
• PLEASE complete your Gallup Survey.... 100% gets us Breakfast by Clarissa!
• Make sure you took the Gallup Survey using YOUR ACCESS CODE - I accidentlly sent out my email to all of you and could not recall all of the messages.  If you clicked on that email, you used my access code.  Double check use your email only - sorry! 
• Gallup Survey for students can be found here... 5th and 6th grade only
• Please return the walkies to their chargers ASAP  - we are running short at lunchtime
• The bulletin board in the office needs a grade level to freshen it up - We need some student art work! 
• Hour of Code:  

In 6 weeks, December 4-10th RUSD will be hosting Computer Science Education Week. Millions of students across the world will participate in the annual Hour of Code. We would love to highlight the work and impact we are making in the region by having you sign up your classroom for the Hour of Code. You can sign up your classroom HERE, and place your school on the national Code.org map.

You can also click HERE for a how-to guide on running an Hour of Code at your site. For teachers who host an hour of code, you’ll also be able to order 12 free posters from the Code.org online store after you sign up (promo code emailed to your account from Code while supplies last).

We hope you will join the movement in promoting CSforALL (Computer Science for All) by hosting an Hour of Code with your students!
