Hi, Mehrdad,

Thanks for your reports.

That's a great idea, explicitly setting goals with Mr. Miller and Ms. Knox!  And it sounds like you've come up with a good plan together.  Please let Russ and me know if there are obstacles you run into or other ways we can help.  

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it to you, but the READ 180 program is being rolled out as a special initiative by the CPS Area 15 admins and has shown up in many of the CUIP schools.  We'd be very interested in anything you might observe or hear about how the setup process went, what the participating teacher and students think of it, and so on.

Do you know if the order you mentioned they were putting in for some Ethernet mini-switches (hubs) and so on, did go through and the equipment arrived okay?  If there are still connectivity issues in the 2nd floor lab that could be addressed by tossing in a little hub or two or some cables, CUIP is still ready to help on that front.   

 Cheers,

  ==Mitch
