39. Video Announcements Principals, would you like to engage your students and staff with your announcements?  Would you like to complete the week’s announcements in one sitting?  If you answered yes to either question, please contact Charles Bagley (cbagley@alvinisd.net) for more information. Cyber Safety Week We will be celebrating Cyber Safety Week, September 30th through October 4th this year. Ashlee Daniell will be sending out an email to all Principals and DTLT members on Friday, September 13th containing information about Cyber Safety Week. Please send this out to your parents through your e-News. The email will also contain teacher resources and lessons teachers can complete with students. Cyber Safety week was moved up from May in order to be more effective, especially with the Elementary and High School BYOD initiatives.   

40. TCEA Conference The target audience for TCEA is elementary teachers, this year, since it’s the first year of the BYOD initiative for all elementary campuses in grades 3-5. Therefore, each elementary campus principal will be able to select and send 2 teachers from their campus to TCEA. Principals will need to submit their two teachers to Vickie Maliszeski by September 18th via a Google Doc that we will be emailing out. Other details are below: ·The conference is February 3-7 in Austin. ·Teachers will leave on Monday, February 3rd and return on Thursday, February 6th. ·There will be two people per hotel room. ·We will be using Title Funds to pay for TCEA for teachers therefore, campuses cannot choose to send a librarian as one of their two teachers. ·All teachers will complete their TCEA registration (Premium Registration) and send copies of the email registration to Vicki M. by Sept. 26th. ·All individuals will be expected to take school transportation (i.e. suburban). Those individuals wanting to take their own vehicle will not be reimbursed mileage. ·Subs will be provided.

41. Librarians & TCEA Since we cannot use Title funds to pay for librarians to attend TCEA, Technology Services will be covering the cost. At this time, we only have enough funds available to send 4 librarians to TCEA. Therefore, we will send out an email asking all librarians to tell us if they want to attend TCEA and if they do then their name will be put into a drawing. The two librarians that attended last year, FJH and HC, will be excluded. Laura Davidson will contact the librarians selected so they can register for TCEA. Librarians will adhere to the same guidelines as teachers. Campuses Paying for TCEA If you would like to send a teacher or librarian to TCEA and use campus funds you may do so. Just remember to use Title funds for teachers(AHS/MHS can use House Bill funds) and regular campus funds for librarians as we want to avoid a supplant/supplement issue with Title funds. Campuses will also have to provide subs. Technology All three Instructional Technology Specialists and Beaute See will be attending TCEA and will be communicating and/or meeting with teachers and librarians on a daily basis during the conference to share workshop ideas/experiences/tools/resources. John Wilds, Victor Jasso, and Laura Perez will be attending the vendor Exhibit Hall only on Feb. 5th and 6th. Everyone attending TCEA will be expected to share what they learned at TCEA with their campus and/or department.
