Parents: Please have a conversation with your student and remind them that they, and you, signed a contract saying that they would take care of the county issued chromebooks. Students have recently been removing the guard around the keyboard keys and causing keys to become loose and get lost. Intentional damage to a chromebook can become the financial responsibility of the student and parent. Please have this conversation with your student and remind them that they are to care for these devices. Thank you!

Students need to be sure to be in school by 7:20 each day with charged chromebooks. Students are also encouraged to ensure that they have plenty of sleep next week and eat a good, healthy breakfast.
