Today (Tuesday) is the last all-employee lunch of the year. Take a little holiday from your crazy week and join your colleagues for  a bargain ($3) lunch being served from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. in Canyon Commons.

FoxTALE Open Labs are available this week. You can view dates and times here.

If you used the FoxTALE grade book for any of your FoxTALE course sites, back up your 2017 Fall grade book to a spreadsheet that is saved outside of FoxTALE. See the instructions here for backing up grades. You will want to keep an archive of your course grades that cover the last five years.

Use your new, empty 2018 Spring sites as the sites in which you will teach. You may import content from another course site. See the instructions here for importing.

2018 Spring sites are currently hidden from student view. When you are ready, you can share the sites with your students. Here is a quick guide on how to make the courses available: FoxTALE Making Courses Visible to Students.

If your course site is set to Weekly format, your course might show incorrect start and end dates. To change the dates, go to Administration> Edit settings on the course home page. Scroll down to the Course start date, and change it to the first day of your 2018 Spring course. Also, add the course end date. Scroll to the bottom of the page and “Save changes.”

Visit the FoxTALE for Faculty webpage for guides and resources and to see the new features coming for the Spring 2018 FoxTALE Upgrade!

George Fox is once again partnering with Hillsboro Airporter to provide shuttle service to Portland International Airport for Christmas break. Students will be expected to work directly with Hillsboro Airporter to reserve their spot.

Here are the details:

• Each shuttle can fit five to six passengers. The cost per student is based on the total number of passengers during the scheduled times, so if you can fill one shuttle, the cost per student could be as low as $15 (if you have a total of six passengers). Cost for one student is $65.
• Make your reservations more than 24 hours in advance and Hillsboro Airporter can group you together. To reserve your spot, go online to Hillsboro Airporter & Car Service LLC.
• Hillsboro Airporter accepts cash or credit card for payment. Parents can call Hillsboro Airporter with a credit card to pay for their student’s fare.
• Hillsboro Airporter has 24/7 service. It will work with students and their families, putting students together to lower the cost of the fare.

Questions? Contact the Office of Student Life (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2316).

Faculty, please let your students know about this resource.
