Petty Family Meetings

Family meetings this month were lots of fun. Students who won awards were able to take a picture with Bobby the Bobcat. We were excited to invite parents of the students receiving awards back into the building! Go Bobcats! Our school focus for October is RESPECT.

Updates from the Technology Department

iPad Information

Student iPads have a district-approved case installed that cannot be removed due to the warranty on the iPads. Each student will also be given a new Apple cord and Apple charging brick. These items need to be kept for the entire year and returned with the iPad at the end of each school year or there will be a replacement fee assessed for these items. Stickers and/or labels should not be placed on the iPad or bricks. If there is an issue and an item is not working, please contact your building administrator to get a different one as soon as possible. Please help with the expectation of having the iPad charged once the student comes to school. It is very important that the student has a charged iPad so that class and instruction time isn’t lost accomplishing this task.

Updates from Student Services
