Hi Ivy Families, Thank you for such a great first week! I know this hasn’t been easy for you, but we truly appreciate your support, partnership, patience, and understanding as our staff delivers the best E-Learning experience! This first week was spent on building relationships, creating expectations, and adjusting to our new virtual environment. The students and staff have done a tremendous job! I want to thank all the families who wrote chalk messages of support to our staff on Friday. As I watched the teachers enter the school, you could sense the joy and gratitude they all felt from those words. It truly made their day and week! I also want to thank our wonderful Ivy Hil PTA who hosted our Annual Ice Cream Social on Friday. Even though it was a little different, we still had so many families “drive-thru” to grab their ice cream! It was great to see our Ivy Community come together and celebrate our first week of E-Learning!!

Our District Tech department recommends that you encourage your children to restart their devices at least once a day, during an off period or each morning/evening. This helps to reset the computer usage and make it available for the next set of tasks. You can also improve performance by limiting the amount of tabs and windows open at the same time as they are constantly reloading in the background. These steps can help reset and hopefully improve the experience each day. Chromebooks To turn off your Chromebook completely, try one of these options:
