Teachers new to Ranchview High School came to campus on Aug. 8 for a full day of training. They are eager to welcome all of the wolves back to school on Aug. 20 as they learn what it means to be part of the RHS Wolf Pack. The recurring theme of the RHS teaching team is to strive to be teachers who inspire students to accomplish what they never dreamed possible. Well known educator, William Arthur Ward, stated that “the mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” The teachers at Ranchview are looking forward to inspiring the Wolves as they start the 2018-2019 school year.
While school is not yet back in session, the Ranchview High School band is back to practice. School begins Aug. 20.
**UPDATE** Over the past three years, CFB has purchased Chromebooks (grades 3-12) and iPads (grades PreK-2) to build the digital learning experience of students. Over three years, the Board of Trustees allocated approximately $7 million from local funds and from the Instructional Materials Allotment provided by TEA to purchase devices. The district phased in the devices to allow for incremental purchase and to create a reasonable replacement cycle. Teachers have received training in digital learning practices over the past several years to prepare for the eventual 1:1 roll-out. For 2018-19, CFB will launch 1:1 experience for students in grades 6-12.
Every 6th-12th grade student in CFBISD will begin the year with a Chromebook to use for schoolwork and homework. At this stage of the one-to-one technology program, each student will be assigned a laptop (Chromebook) that the student will take to each class and home in the evenings. Much like a textbook, the Chromebook will be checked out to the individual student.
In CFBISD, we believe technology can transform learning in a powerful way. Technology is designed to be used for any time anyplace learning. Having consistent access to a Chromebook allows teachers and students to engage in new and exciting learning opportunities.
Secondary campus personnel will communicate with parents and students regarding topics like the checkout process and care of the Chromebook. Student and parent questions will be addressed at Meet the Teacher Nights, Open Houses, Schedule Pick-Up Events and more.
All CFB middle and high school parents are invited to join us for a free 6-week class beginning Thursday, Sep. 6. We will have a weekly video series resulting from over 40 years of research and practice from the Love and Logic Institute. You will learn practical skills including:
