Focus on students

Arrangements for Francisco "Paco" Topete
Calhoun City Schools experienced the loss of a student last week when Francisco "Paco" Topete, current junior at CHS,  lost his prolonged battle with cancer.  Many have asked about arrangements.  Paco's family are meeting tomorrow morning to finalize arrangements, but at this time we anticipate that the funeral will be held on Thursday with visitation on either Tuesday or Wednesday evening.  Once we know all dates, times and locations we will share more specific information.  Please continue to pray for this family as they grieve the loss of their beloved son.

Third grade is rocking!

CES 3rd Grade graders made models of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. These students in Mrs. Rollins' class used Starburst candies to make their models.

A New Tool for Chromebooks
Here’s an awesome and easy way to take notes while watching videos. VideoNot.es lets you watch any video and take notes side by side on the same screen. It also automatically syncs your notes and video. Plus, your notes are stored in Google Drive for easy access and sharing. Please watch this video or read this post from BetterCloud. You will be glad you did!

Transition to OneDrive and GoogleDrive
Last week Jenny Vowell, our district Instructional Technologist, trained The Campus faculty on how to transfer files from the H drive to either OneDrive or GoogleDrive. If you weren't able to attend the STING sessions, please contact Jenny Vowell via email at vowellj@calhounschools.org or vowellj@ccsjackets.org. By the way, we are currently working on plans to train all the support staff as well. Thank you.
