At the halfway point of our school year, I thought it might be a good time to revisit some things as it relates to our school issued iPads.

• Please know that these devices can be damaged by extreme temperatures. Students should not leave them in their cars overnight as this could damage the screen and/or battery.

• Students should fully charge their iPad every night so that when they arrive at school, they are prepared and ready for the days activities.

• Students should be logged into their school issued iCloud account on their assigned iPad. You can do this by visiting: settings, Apple ID, and then logging in using your school email address and password. Doing this will help your iPad function as it should.

• At the end of the year, students will be expected to turn their iPad in for inspection. Any damage to the case, device or charger could result in fees to that student. Additionally, students are expected to turn in the same charger that they were issued.

Thanks!

Mr. Shipley

Lynnville-Sully's Language Skills class counts as credit for DMACC’s COM703 (Communication Skills)

“What does it mean that Language Skills is a “concurrent enrollment” class?”

Taking Language Skills here at L-S will count as both a Lynnville-Sully English credit as well as 3 DMACC college credits.

“Do I have to pay anything for this class to receive DMACC credit?”

No.

“Does this class count as my core English requirement in college?”

Yes, if you plan to go into one of DMACC’s Diploma or Technical “trades” programs, such as welding, building trades, or auto collision. It will count as a general elective if pursuing an Associate of Arts and Associate of Science Degree at DMACC.

No, if you attend some other institution. The three credits earned in this course will still transfer, but just as credits themselves and not toward any program or major’s requirement.*

“What if I’m not going to DMACC? Does this class count for anything?”

The three credits from this course will likely transfer to another institution, but they will probably not count as your English requirement–just general credits.*

“Do I have to get a certain grade in this class to get college credit for it?”

You must pass the class with a D- or above to receive L-S and DMACC credit for this course. If you are attending an institution that is not DMACC, you likely need to receive a C- or above for the credits to transfer. In that case, whatever grade you receive in this course will likely factor into your future college GPA.*
