Hello Berryton families! BES PTO will be catering in a meal for the teachers and staff on Friday 1/15 during their work day. If you would like to contribute a few dollars toward this meal that would be great. Please send cash or checks made to Berryton PTO with your student through backpack mail in an envelope marked BES PTO MEAL by Thursday 1/14. You may also contribute via the PTO PayPal account at berrytonpto@gmail.com. If you select the friends/family option it will avoid fees charged to the PTO. If any extra money sent in, it will be used for the meal in February.
Berryton teachers have been working hard and we want to show that we appreciate them. Thank you for your support!

Hey, BES Families,
We just wanted to take a quick moment to talk iPad care. Like cars need tune-ups and oil changes, iPads need some up-keep as well to help them continue to run smoothly. Here are some suggestions:
1. Turn your iPad off for awhile tonight. A shut down helps the system restart. Hold the button on the top right corner until the power off slide bar shows. Then turn off. Turn on with that same button.
2. Tap, Tap, Swipe up, and Close those Apps you’re not using. Having apps running in the background takes a lot of energy.
3. Running websites in the background also takes a lot of energy. Close tabs you’re no longer using in Safari and Chrome. You can even choose for it to close tabs automatically after a day or week.
4. If you’re having trouble with Microsoft Teams, try logging completely out of the program (not just tap, tap, close the app). Go to the three lines in the top left corner of your Teams account. Click Settings. Scroll all the way to the bottom where it says, Sign out. Then close the app. Open it again. Choose sign-in with your account (remember it’s your account @usd450.org) and your password for email.
5. If your iPad is struggling to charge, try these three things: a new cord or brick, a hard shut down, or taking it out of the case and cleaning both case and iPad. We’ve noticed that cleaning the cases and iPads has solved most of the charging issues. If you need help with how to take off the case, let us know – we have instructions!
If you need video directions for any of these tips, email Mrs. Hurla at hurlal@usd450.net. If you need further assistance, we’re happy to help – call the school line 785-861-1300 and we will connect you with support.
Thank you!
