Important for MAP: All G5-10 Students!!! (and Advisors)

Good Morning,

Students please complete the following steps before your next MAP test:

  1. Please make sure that your Mac’s operating system (OS) is at least OS X El Capitan. You can do this by going to the little Apple in the upper lefthand corner and clicking on “About This Mac” and looking for the information box as pictured below:
OS X El Capitan

2. If it is NOT, you need to upgrade the operating system making sure that it is OS X El Capitan (Version 10.11 see above picture), macOS Sierra (Version 10.12) or macOS High Sierra (Version 10.13):

macOS Sierra

 

macOS HIgh Sierra

3. If you are unsure of how to do this or confused by these instructions, please bring it by the IT Offices and we will upgrade it for you.

Advisors/Homeroom teachers please make sure that this happens to ensure a smoother MAP testing session for you and your colleagues.

Thank you,

The IT Department

#PhoneFreeMonday – Challenge Smashed!

A huge shout out to the Grade 11 students choosing to accept the challenge by ditching their phones, yesterday. A total of 35 phones graced the safe in Ms Ham’s office for the day without thumb twitching, brow sweats or trauma. Huge props to the two Grade 12 lads also choosing to take part of their own volition, #rolemodels #phonefreeMonday

The challenge is open to anyone in the MS/US for the rest of the week. Swing by the offices of Mrs Clarke or Ms Ham and drop off your phone on your way to block 1. Free yourself from the tethers of social media and connect authentically with your community.
