Please make your students aware that Chromebook turn-in day is coming, and to let you know of any repairs their machine might need before they have their same Chromebook returned to them next fall.

Several pieces of software were approved by TCS Data Governance this month, including the Tango Chrome extension, Education Galaxy's website, SplashLearn's Website, and Personal Finance Lab's financial literacy curriculum.
Data Governance ensures that software is compatible with our systems and is COPPA and FERPA compliant, protecting you, our students, and our school district.
All new software (even free programs requiring accounts and extensions we use online) should be approved by TCS Data Governance before being used by students and teachers. The committee meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
