Parent Academy Workshop, Weather and Traffic Thursday

The weather will continue to be in the 50's today as we approach the weekend.

Elsewhere in town today, the latest workshop at Crossroads North Middle School from the South Brunswick Parent Academy will feature a discussion on Google Chromebook and its role accessing the new state online assessments (PARCC).

Here's what else is going on in town today.

1. Today's forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with a high of 51 degrees and winds up to 10 mph. Overnight, the temperature will drop to a low of 38 degrees.

2. The South Brunswick Parent Academy workshop on the Google Chromebook will discuss how students and staff can go beyond the test taking environment and have greater access to the digital world. Workshop attendees will be introduced to the district's approach to technology and experience the power of the Chromebook through hands-on demonstrations. As an added bonus, one lucky attendee will win a brand new Chromebook during the workshop.
