This is your friendly weekly reminder to back up your computer.
Did you know that, according to a survey done by Apple , “only four percent [of users] back up [their computer] regularly. In a nutshell, this means that if you could snap your fingers and make one Mac user’s main hard drive disappear, there’s a 96 percent chance that you just destroyed files that are completely unrecoverable.”
Don’t know how? Read this or come to the game room during the first half of lunch for help from Ms. Johnson
Don’t have a hard drive? Ms. Cassie in the Apple Store can order one for you
Have you had your computer re-imaged? Frustrated you lost all your data because you didn’t back it up? Can’t figure out where things are? Don’t know how to sign into Microsoft 365?
If so, then you may be eligible for some free tech help!
Learn amazing new skills, like how to set up your email, printing, accessing your email online, logging into Microsoft 365, backing up your computer, and more!
Join Ms. Johnson in the gaming room (across from the Macquarium) today during the first half of lunch for some introductory lessons on computer basics. Bring your computers, your hard drives, and any questions/problems you may have.

After one year of having the fence dividing the lanes in front of school we feel more comfortable with students crossing at the end of the day. In the past we asked for students to wait until 3:20pm before crossing. We are now allowing students to cross the road carefully, using the zebra crossing, from 3:00 pm. If you are G3 and up you can do so unaccompanied, G2 and down need to cross with an adult.
The Eco Team invites you to a lunchtime screening of part of The Lorax on Monday 31st August, starting at 1:15 prompt, in the PAC. We look forwards to seeing you there.
Reminder!
We have our first “official” assembly this Friday at 8am in the PAC. Students should report directly to the theatre once they have placed their backpacks in their lockers (no bags allowed in the PAC!). Students should sit in the same places they sat in our welcome assembly (by advisory) so that advisors can take attendance. Thanks!
Hello MYP Students,
If you are curious about where backpacks end up when you ditch them outside the cafeteria, please ask Eli, Lane, Owen, Sangjin, or Daniel. They will probably also explain the importance of taking bags to your locker, even if it’s “super far” away, thus saving Mr. Bratton the trouble. Thanks! 🙂
Apple’s Mail app has a feature called Smart Addresses that’s designed to make it easier for you to see who you’re sending email messages to. Instead of displaying names and addresses in Mail’s To: field, Smart Addresses just display the name of the email recipient. One of the benefits of using Smart Addresses is the option to delete previous recipients from Mail’s collection of remembered addresses.
Smart Addresses is enabled by default, but you can make sure this feature is on by:
When you select Smart Addresses, it changes the way Mail displays addressing information from a full named and address:
To just an addressee’s name:
Once you enter the ancient email address you should note that there’s a small arrow next to the recipient’s name. Click that menu and included in the list of menu options you’ll see an item that says, “Remove from Previous Recipients List.” Select this item and this ancient address will no longer appear when you address a new email message.
This is tedious way to have to remove old email addresses and there’s a way to bypass the tedium.
This opens a window displaying a list of everyone you’ve sent email messages to. Take note of the first column. Anyone with a contact card next to their name is someone who is already in your Contact list, nothing in that field means they’re not. The easiest way to figure out which addresses to get rid of is to sort the list by Last Used date and delete from the top down:
You should note that this will not delete any contacts from the Contacts app, it only keeps mail from remembering past recipients.

Give students as much opportunity as possible to practice using new words. The only way to make sure students understand a new word is to have them produce it themselves either orally or in writing.
Grade 12; the deadline for the final Extended Essay is in December. Will you meet it? To help you with this goal I will be running Extended Essay workshops in the Library every Thursday until December 7th. All Grade 12 students are welcome.
