Chromebook Back-to-School Announcements for Students (bit.ly/wh-bts-cbs)
If you have students with Chromebook-related questions, please share this link with them, as it offers helpful info and links. If there are other tech-related needs that are not covered, let me know, and I’m happy to share more links or create new guidance.
Default Textbook Due Date
Textbook checkout is different than usual this year, but just in case this information is helpful for you, the default textbook due date for 2020-21 is Wednesday, May 19, 2021. After this date, students will be invoiced for textbooks still checked out on student accounts. See also: Destiny Staff Help.
The Danger of a Single Story & Diversifying Our Curriculum
The recent EPOCH training included a TEDTalk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on The Danger of a Single Story. Perfectly complementing this, there are GUHSD students currently participating in a student-led Diversity Our Narrative movement. They have started an Instagram account @donguhsd that you can follow, and they recently shared this digital poster to invite petition signatures. Also along these lines, GUHSD’s new ELA/Literacy Curriculum Specialist Sophia Jacoub recently shared in her Literacy Link newsletter this “Library Learnings” resource on Updating Our Classroom Texts: Developing as Culturally Responsive Educators. I’d love to connect with you anytime to support related efforts!
How can the WHHS Teacher librarian support you?
Please do not hesitate to contact me anytime throughout the year to collaborate in any of the ways (or more) shared in this linked menu.
