  • Student & Parent Handbook
    2 0 2 1 - 2 0 2 2 PARENT/STUDENT HANDBOOK PRIDEPRIDE ININ OUROUR PAST.PAST. FAITHFAITH ININ OUROUR FUTURE.FUTURE. Welcome to St. John Interparochial School!

By enrolling in St. John School, parent(s)/guardian(s) and students agree to abide by the policies and regulations set forth herein.

School administration also reserves the right to amend the handbook during the school year if necessary, and will provide proper notification of any changes. If any provision of the handbook is deemed ambiguous by any person, the interpretation of that provision shall rest with school administration. Families should familiarize themselves with the information contained in this handbook, then sign and return the Parent/Student Handbook Agreement at the beginning of the school year.

  • Notes on Chromebooks and Neverware Cloudready Chromium
    Chromebooks Are For Seniors - Ron Brown - APCUG VTC - 8-19-17 https://youtu.be/4uszFPNL-SU http://cb4s.net/ Are Chromebooks more secure than laptops? Google’s security features in ChromeOS When Google set about designing ChromeOS it had the distinct advantage of being able to see the problems that Windows, macOS, and even Linux had struggled with when it came to security. With this in mind it implemented five key features that make ChromeOS a formidable system for hackers to crack. ​ ​ Automatic Updates As new threats become known, it’s vital that patches are applied quickly to thwart them. Google has an excellent track record on this, as not only does it release fixes on a very regular basis, but with Chromebooks guaranteed OS updates for seven years after release, the majority of users are running the most up to date version anyway. his can be an issue on other platforms, where differing combinations of OS ​ ​ versions and hardware can delay patches. Sandboxing If something does go wrong, and malware gets onto a Chromebook, there’s not much damage it can do. Each tab in ChromeOS acts as a separate entity with a restricted environment or ‘sandbox’. This means that only the ​ ​ affected tab is vulnerable, and that it is very difficult for the infection to spread to other areas of the machine. In Windows and macOS the malware is usually installed somewhere on the system itself, which makes it a threat with a much wider scope. There are ways to restrict this of course, with anti-virus software, regular system ​ ​ scans, and not running as an administrator.

  • Teaching Matters
    TEACHING MATTERS THE DISRUPTED TERM: WINTER 2020 WELCOME! This edition of Teaching Matters contains two sections: 1. The heart of this edition focuses on our theme of Teaching in the Disrupted Term and provides a record of what it was like to teach during the term of Winter 2020. We present different perspectives of how faculty at University of New Brunswick Saint John (and a faculty member on the Fredericton campus) handled the sudden change to remote teaching and working. Some of these reflections recount the anxiety of the moment, a number include the reactions of affected students, and several include encouraging notes that we’ll all benefit from as we all look toward the fall term. All of these submissions are helpful reading as we ponder new ways of teaching and connecting with our students. (It goes without saying that we deeply appreciate the frank fashion in which these seven writers have shared their experiences of a most unusual term.) 2. In the second section of this edition, the Teaching and Learning Committee has created and compiled information from various sectors of the university which you can cut/paste, borrow/adapt into your fall syllabi. These are some standard pieces of information for your students and can be added to your D2L sites or your course packs. Pick and use what you need. Enjoy! TEACHING MATTERS | July 2020 Edition UNB SAINT JOHN TEACHING AND LEARNING COMMITTEE In its mission statement, the University of New Brunswick declares its intention to “provide an exceptional and transformative education for our students by encouraging initiative and innovation, unlocking their creative potential.” The vibrant culture of teaching and learning that has been created at UNB Saint John is the product of years of hard work on the part of individual teacher-scholars, and especially through the efforts of the Vice- President’s Excellence in Teaching Committee (VPETC).

    Photograph by Carim Yanoria Nåna by Kisha Borja-Quichocho Like the tåsa and haligi of the ancient Chamoru latte stone so, too, does your body maintain the shape of the healthy Chamoru woman. With those full-figured hips features delivered through natural birth for generations and with those powerful arms reaching for the past calling on our mañaina you have remained strong throughout the years continuously inspire me to live my culture allow me to grow into a young Chamoru woman myself. Through you I have witnessed the persistence and endurance of my ancestors who never failed in constructing a latte. I gima` taotao mo`na the house of the ancient people. Hågu i acho` latte-ku. You are my latte stone. The latte stone (acho` latte) was once the foundation of Chamoru homes in the Mariana Islands. It was carved out of limestone or basalt and varied in size, measuring between three and sixteen feet in height. It contained two parts, the tasa (a cup-like shape, the top portion of the latte) and the haligi (the bottom pillar) and were organized into two rows, with three to seven latte stones per row. Today, several latte stones still stand, and there are also many remnants of them throughout the Marianas. Though Chamorus no longer use latte stones as the foundations of their homes, the latte symbolize the strength of the Chamorus and their culture as well as their resiliency in times of change.
