Happy November!

Friendly Reminder 

We have had an issue lately with students bringing in dead chromebooks.  Please help remind your child to charge their chromebook each night and return with it to school ready to go the next day!  This will make it much easier to use them during the day for our lessons.  Thanks for your help with this!
