Paper Challenge Ends today (3/31)!
This school year, Pasadena introduced Paper, a tool which gives students unlimited and 24/7 access to tutors for 1-on-1 sessions and writing feedback. To encourage students to make use of this great resource, we will be partnering with Paper to host a Paper Challenge between March 24th-31st.
Prizes will be given to students and staff! Learn more by clicking on the buttons below.
District Policy Reminder
Phones should not be moved between classrooms. Requests for extension re-assignment must be submitted by the site Principal, AP, or office manager via a Help Desk ticket.
Updates
- The Hāpara team has recently made changes to protect students who are learning remotely. Now, when a student is in a Meet preview or waiting to enter, or once they have joined a Meet or Hangout–teachers will no longer be able to see the student’s screen in the Current Screens tab in Highlights. Instead the student tile will look like the image to the right. You will still be able to see the open tabs in the Browser tab view, you just will not be able to see a student's screen view. If you have any concerns, feedback or suggestions, please feel free to bring them to Hapara at any time.
- In preparation for returning to in-person instruction, QR badges for TK-2nd grade students have been uploaded to the PUSD Curriculum 2020-21 Drive. You can find these by navigating to the Curriculum Drive, then to the QR Badges folder.
The process for checking out Student Hotspots has changed. If you have a student in need of a hotspot, please direct the family to fill out the FORM requesting a hotspot. A ticket will be created and someone will be in contact with the family once the student is approved to check out a hotspot. The student's teacher, counselor, and other support staff including Instructional Coach, Assistant Principal, Principal, and Community Assistant may also be included in the response to the family to ensure the family is able to obtain the hotspot quickly.
Sharing video in Google Meet is still not working. It is a known issue that Google is working on resolving.
