For this special occasion students may wear red, white, and blue instead of their Spirit Wear. If students do not wear red, white and blue, they may choose to wear their Friday spirit wear. BYOD Program - Software Update     The eighth grade BYOD pilot program is off to a good start. I routinely see students using their laptops and iPads in classrooms for writing, research, note taking, etc. As part of our effort to ensure that all students have full functionality of their devices while at school, please make sure each device has the following software and/or apps. Windows Office 2010 (including OneNote) Google Cloud Connect - this is a free plug-in for Microsoft Office LiveViewer from Hitachi - download at http://www.hitachidigitalmedia.com/products/projectors/liveviewer_v5.00.0716.zip iPad iOS 5  WritePad Evernote GoDocs PrintCentral ProiPad stylus Quickoffice Numbers Pages Keynote   Over the next few weeks I will work closely with the eighth grade students to make sure they are familiar with the applications listed above. Class of 2011 Achieves Honor Roll     Susanne Johnson, Admissions Director  Congratulations to members of the Class of 2011 who made Honor Roll at Good Counsel High School! All five of our graduates who are attending the Honors program at Good Counsel High School achieved honor roll for the first semester. Congratulations to Dan Dunkers, Jamie Evans, Tina Johnson, Eric Kaufmann and Nevada Tyler! Clear proof that our graduates are well prepared for High School.   Thank you to all of our great faculty for giving our students the foundation for success beyond Barnesville!   I look forward to hearing from the rest of the Class of 2011...no doubt they will also be on their school's Honor Roll.

You can also help keep up the good work by encouraging friends and family to link their grocery cards to The Barnesville School.  Multiple school allegiances, you might ask?  Not a problem! Giant and Harris Teeter allow for more than one school to be linked to their cards.   Return the attached form or contact Carol Vederman, Shop for Barnesville Chair, and she will help register you, your friends and family.  Thank you for your continued support!
