Highlights

In this busy time of year we wanted to provide a very useful iPad tip and highlights of what's to come in Pennridge.

1. iPad Tip- Using the new Close Tab Feature in Safari

As multiple students use the iPads the amount of tabs open in Safari can get pretty large very quickly.  A new iPad update allows you to close all of these tabs with one click.  When you hit the small square in the upper right hand corner you will see the tabs normally.  However, holding the done button in the upper right hand corner will allow you to close all your tabs with one click. 

2. Seesaw for Schools

Pennridge Elementary schools will be transitioning to Seesaw for Schools this week!  This premium version of Seesaw offers some excellent new features such as additional multiple co-teachers, scheduled assignments, and school wide activity libraries.  We will be featuring some of these new features in the coming weeks and during the June professional development days.  A short summary of these features can be found here.Your students and parents won't see a difference in their access, but we hope you find the new features of Seesaw for Schools helpful!

3. 21st Century Learning Night

Please consider supporting your fellow teachers as they present at this year's 21st Century Learning Night, which will be held at Pennridge High School on May 28, 2019 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.  Students and teachers will be demonstrating the innovative projects and lessons they have worked so hard to complete over the course of the year.  In addition to seeing our students at their best, it is also a great way to see what other teachers are doing in their classrooms.  We hope to see you there!
