Spotlight on Learning:  Virtual Reality – Thank You PAC

 

Shout out to our PAC for funding three new Oculus Quest 2 Virtual Reality headsets. District Scholarship students are using the VR headsets to walk through their Architectural Design projects. This gives students a chance to get a real life feel for their building designs enabling them to find deficiencies and redesign on the spot.   The use of VR in architecture is a powerful tool and a glimpse of the future for our students to experience.

Lunch / Period 3 Reminders:

 
Lunch break is not based on a student’s grade level but based on the main grade level of the third period class. For example, English 11 may have 11 and 12 students but has lunch at the Grade 11 break.  
Classroom teachers will let their class know the time slot assigned to their class.  Do not be late for class

 During Period 3 while your class is on lunch, remember 3 out of 4 of the remaining classes are IN CLASS and therefore students are to be QUIET when sitting in CLASS and therefore students are to be QUIET when sitting in hallways near classes.
