Before you leave for the long weekend,
is your voicemail and email updated?
 |
 As we prepare for the Labor Day weekend, please make sure all phone messages and out of office emails reflect current information concerning days off and returning dates for your campus or department.
Campus principals need to make sure that the main campus voicemail message reflects pertinent information for your campus.

Project Innovate 
To date, the BISD Technology has rolled out over 1,350 Project Innovate iPads to the staff, and we are anxious to resume training this fall so that more staff are able to utilize iPad devices to: - participate in personalized professional learning, anytime, anywhere;
- access resources for increased productivity, communication, collaboration, and creativity; and
- model the use of technology as a tool for learning.
Training dates and times for the fall semester will be published in a future Digital Learning News Brief as soon as additional iPads are ordered and arrive in the District.
