Reusing Materials
Ms. Suarez, our Art teacher has been able to reuse common items in all of her art classes. She has requested from both students and teachers items such as paper towel rolls, old jars, and she also has reused the Styrofoam lunch trays.
Electronic submission of student work
Throughout Nicholas Orem, students have asked and teachers have allowed, students to turn in their classroom assignments using apps such as Edmodo, e-mail, GoogleDocs, and other various forms. Students have said that this allows for them to be able to submit the assignments and not forget to turn it in during class. Also, they like the ability to collaborate with their peers on assignments.
