Questions 1. End of day - how to move carts? How to get laptops back at the end of the day? 2. Bags - 2 choices- Leather bag (1st choice) chosen due to being sturdy and thought it better not to have a bag that the computer stays strapped in. 3. Pep Tech Rally - kick off - Need to finalize details for this. 4. Needs to consider substitutes - Need train DMS core subs, teachers will need to give specific lesson plans 5. 8th grade has enrichment at the end of the day - How to handle getting computers back to homeroom? 6. Test 3 groups without MOU so that we can test image? 7. Nov. 1st is homecoming week, can we move roll out until the next week? 8.
