Dear Members:
 
  • Again, today is the only day you’re allowed to be on campus…until noon.  But, you don’t have to show up today if you don’t want to.  The rest of this week we are working remotely from home.  Next week, you can work from school IF YOU WANT TO…or continue to work remotely from home.  But, don’t go into anyone’s classroom or let anyone into yours.  BE SAFE.  Talk through the windows.  Put your hands on a window as a way of shaking hands.  😊
If you want to send an email to parents and students, use the following directions…
  1. Open up Q.
  2. Go to School in Main Menu
  3. Then click Mass email and type your cute little email
  4. Then off to the right, hit refresh list and choose recipients
  5. It automatically sends it as a BCC…
  6. Make sure you do a CC to yourself, Boomer!  That way you have a record of it. 
  7. Then off to the top left, review selected recipients
  8. Then in new window, hit send email if you’re happy with who it is going to
 
  • Click here for a video message sent by my wife to her parents and students.  She teaches 4th Grade at McParland.  My wife isn’t thrilled that I’m sending this out to y’all, but I think it’s important for all of you to see how easy it is.  It took her about 15 minutes to produce a 4 minute video.  Again, this is an optional idea.  Do what you’re comfortable with.
 

To create a video message using Powerpoint (it took my wife about 15 minutes to do this) follow these steps:
  1. First, you make a normal Powerpoint with the slides you want. 
  2. Then for each slide that you want a video for, click the Slide Show menu, and hit Record Slide Show. 
  3. Then hit the red record button, and start yapping.
  4. When you’re all done with your PowerPoint, go to File and save it as an mp4. 
  5. Then, upload your mp4 file to YouTube (you’ll need to make an account)
  6. When it comes to privacy, click “unlisted” video (this only allows those with a link to view it).
  7. That way, students and families can access your messages on smart phones as well as their devices.
  8. Let me know how it goes and send me a link so I can view it too!  I promise not share yours.  😊
