Just a few reminders from Mr. Smith
*Students, please remember our morning cafeteria rules: Unless you are getting your food, throwing away trash, or going to the media center, please stay in a seat.
*Students, starting this week, if a student checks out a Chromebook from the media center three times, he or she will serve a lunch detention. Not having your Chromebook or not charging it is the same as arriving to class without materials.
