Launch Meeting Changes!

Please see the REVISED 2015-16 Launch Meeting Schedule below.

Items in RED italics have been changed.

  

If you cannot come to the meeting you've been assigned, you’re welcome to come to one of our others. You must let us know at least 48 hours in advance if you’ll be attending another meeting so we can have your supplies at the correct location. It is crucial that you attend this meeting, as we will be giving out all of the 2015-16 school year supplies. If you’d prefer another meeting date so you can have the supplies for back-to-school night, we encourage you to come to the year-round school launch.

- This year the indoor tracking banner will NOT be included in print materials unless you specifically want it. Please be sure to mark this option on both the agreement & information sheet so we can give you the correct materials!

UESP 
- We will have special guests from Utah Education Savings Plan with us at the Spring Forum Meetings. They will be giving out 2 UESP certificates to each school. These are fabulous prizes that have a high redemption rate. 

Faculty & Staff Certificates

- These will be given out at the Spring Forum Meetings. If you have no way of attending any of the meetings or sending a representative you will need to pick the certificates up at the RTS Office in Downtown Salt Lake. Contact meganw@rtsutah.com to set up a time Monday-Friday, 9 am - 4:30 pm.

- If anyone from your originally submitted list does not receive a certificate please notify us by e-mail.

- These are in a different format this year. We are providing Faculty ID Cards that must be presented to redeem each offer.

Prize Wheel

- Only teacher compatibility is available. However, there are still MANY Ways to implement this new feature throughout the school.

- The "Print Slips" feature is still available, which is extremely convenient.

How-To:

•Log in as a teacher

•Select the correct classroom

•Click “Reading Slips”

•Select the Week

•Click “Select Eligible”

•You can also hand-select students who aren’t automatically selected

•Click “Launch Prize Wheel”

•Check that entries are correct

•Scroll down for settings

•Click “Go to Wheel of Prizes”

•Click “Spin!”

•Click “Spin!” again to choose multiple winners

•Click the arrow under the selected name to see a list of winners & entries

Prize Wheel Settings:

•Spin Duration:

•How long the wheel spins – can be adjusted for smaller/faster drawings

•Load Duration:

•Time it takes to load names – if there aren’t many students set to a faster load time

•Remove Winning Entries

•Similar to if drawing by hand – removes the winning ticket

•Remove Unique Winners

•Removes ALL tickets with the student’s name so each student can only win once

Ways to Implement:

- Prize Wheel Within Each Class - 

•Teacher spins the wheel once a week then submits one name to go into the Grand Prize Drawing

•Benefits:

•Teacher’s discretion to make sure it’s students who consistently log that are included in the grand prize drawing.

•Fun weekly awards for students – keep them involved & excited!

•Admin gathers names & puts them into a spreadsheet

•Use Random Name Selector website to draw a winner

•http://primaryschoolict.com/random-name-selector/

- Narrow it Down by Classroom -

•Make a Classroom in the school that includes all class names

•Use the wheel to decide which class

•Use the wheel again to choose a student within that class

•Can do the original class decision before the announcement

•Select all eligible students within that class
