Parent Newsletter: August 16th, 2021What an AMAZING week at Tremont! Our students are truly incredible and it is such an honor to have them here. We are so excited for a year of growth and learning with our Tremont Lions. Thank you so much - as always - for your support of our staff and students. We are so lucky to have a community like you!Drop-off Reminders: Reminder not to park in the Stop-Drop-and Go line. If you need to park, even for a short time, please do so in a parking spot in the lot. It is very important to keep traffic moving in this line. Please DO NOT park in the bus line. We need that space to fit all of our buses in. If you need to walk your Kindergarten student in, please park in the parking lot.From Student Services: Gifted ID and Services GuideFrom Technology: How to Get Help Elementary, Middle, High School, Online Academy and StaffWe have published a new resource to help students, families, teachers & staff find how to reach out for help when using digital devices and classroom technology.

New Filtering Experience Rolling Out This Week on Student iPadsThe new Relay filter will be quietly installed on student iPads over the next week. It’ll bring a number of improvements. Most notably, better YouTube filtering, building administrator access to student browsing, a “Parent Portal for at home management” and best of all decrypted filtering WITHOUT the proxy prompt (??much rejoicing??). We will be rolling out these features throughout the fall. Our first step is to make sure all students have the filter app installed on the iPad. Please watch for communication as these features are rolled out. The Relay Filter will install automatically on all iOS 14.4 and up devices. Anything under that version will still have the proxy until they update. Students that experience proxy issues will need to cancel the proxy prompt and run the iOS software update. Then Relay will begin to install. Users and staff will know that Relay is working by looking for the "Relay Smart Agent" app and checking that the client's email is there and that it says "Upper Arlington Schools". As always if there are questions or concerns students can have their device checked while at school with one of the building technicians.
