Rock & Roll Bingo
Rock & Roll Bingo
If you've never been to a Rock & Roll Bingo event, you don't know what you're missing!! How well do you remember the songs of your childhood? Sing along to the music as you enjoy the company of friends, win prizes and try your luck in raffles. Please see the attached flyer for more information and mark your calendars for the day tickets go on sale as this event usually sells out. Donations for raffle prizes and some volunteer help are still needed. Please reach out to Kristen Faucher if you can help with either of these. (kristen.faucher@yahoo.com)

Chromebook Repair Protocol
Chromebook Repair Protocol: If your student enters a ticket through the IIQ Helpdesk while at home, they will need to drop off the Chromebook in the library when they come to school the next day. The Tech Department will collect the broken device and perform the repairs. Students may be able to get a loaner device while waiting for their device to be repaired.
When the repairs are done, the student will be alerted via their ticket/email to pick up their device in the library.
Please use this video tutorial for the process of submitting an IIQ Helpdesk ticket.
Please contact your child’s counselor if you have any concerns whether it is attendance related or not. Specific class/assignment related questions or concerns should be directed to the particular teacher involved. Our counselor assignments are as follows:
Elyse Seero: Grade 6 & Team 5-2,5/6 seeroe@chelmsford.k12.ma.us
Jessica Weaver : Grade 7 & Team 5-1 & 5-3 weaverj@chelmsford.k12.ma.us
Bus
If you need to reach out to NRT here is the phone # 978-323-0101
