Pets of the Week: Odin & Meowcolm X

As homes have become offices or virtual classrooms, having clear and accessible education technology systems, and people who can help us troubleshoot, is more important than ever. During your own troubleshooting, you may have already e-met Lori Apabo, Education Technology Coordinator at the Home Office, who helps staff from across the network navigate our different tech systems and unravel the snafus that may happen now and again. While working from home, her two cats and Pets of the Week Odin the Great, King of Meowsgaard, and Meowcolm X, keep her entertained.

Oops! An about face for DSST-branded neck gaiter masks

You may have already seen the news coverage citing research that reports wearing a neck gaiter-style mask is much less effective than other masks. And isn’t it so 2020 that we just handed out these particular masks to our entire team of 800+ people, and 6,000 students?!

Introducing DSST Opt-Ins!

We know school will look different this year. Yet just like last Spring, we continue to do our best to offer innovative and fun ways for students to connect meaningfully with their peers and spark curiosity, even if it’s through a screen. That’s why we’re excited to announce our DSST Opt-Ins, Exploration Courses for Grades 9-12!

Pets of the Week: Jack, Jill, and Simon

Every year, we kick off the new school year with Infusion. 20-21 was no exception, but the virtual event certainly looked different than years past. Home Office Manager of Events Katie Glenn is the logistics mastermind behind this event, as well as other network favorites including Senior Signing Day and the Holiday Party. Katie makes planning and executing enormous and intricately detailed events look like a breeze, always with a joke and a smile. But all joking aside, she’d likely agree that it’s about time her family’s two cats, Jack and Jill, and dog Simon had their 15 minutes of Helix fame!

Pet of the Week: Byers' Beta from New Mexico

While our pets may be getting even more walks and quality human time than ever before, they have not enjoyed their due attention on the Helix lately. So what better way to close out the 19-20 school year than one more Pet of the Week who loves the outdoors- five year old Beta!
