Help Kids Post, Comment, and Upload Responsibly
As tweens and teens share content and engage with others online, it's important for them to understand the tracks they're leaving behind and what those tracks might reveal. Parents can help guide kids toward creating the kind of footprint they can be proud of. Check out the 4 Family Tips in this linked webpage from Common Sense Media.

Twilight School Recommendations
As we move into the last grading period for the 2021-2022 school year, it is important to keep students on-track for on-time graduation and promotion to the next grade level. Failure to pass the required core, elective, or CTE classes may impact graduation and/or promotion. Summer School may be required if a student has a failing grade for the school year. Twilight School is available to help students make-up work and gain classroom assignment assistance so that each may have the opportunity to experience success for the school year. We have teachers just waiting to help students in our after-school program, Monday-Thursday, 3:20 PM-4:20 PM and bus transportation is provided. The students meet in the Student Union. The second session of Twilight School will conclude on Thursday, May 12, 2022. Students may attend immediately!
Please complete the Twilight School Parent Referral form at this link (https://bit.ly/30qgdIf) if your student will enroll.
Parents/guardians, please take a moment this week to check your student's currents grades in PowerSchool.

Loaner Chromebooks
Loaner Chromebooks have moved to the library. Please see the following procedures for borrowing a Chromebook.
If you forget your Chromebook, you will need to pick up a loaner in the library BEFORE school starts or as soon as you arrive from the EGSIC in the afternoon.
You should NOT return the loaner at the end of each block, but instead keep it until 3:00 or until leaving for the EGSIC in the afternoon.
We do not have loaner CHARGERS. Please ask your teacher if they have a charger you may borrow while in their classroom. If not, you will need to come to the library to borrow a Chromebook.
Losing your loaner privileges:
You may not check out a loaner more than 9 times per quarter. You will need to get in the habit of bringing the chromebook that was issued to you.
If you fail to return the loaner to the library at the end of the day 3 times in one quarter, including leaving the device unattended or in a teacher’s classroom, you will not be allowed to borrow a Chromebook for the remainder of the quarter.
If you lose a loaner Chromebook or damage it in any way, you will be held financially responsible for replacement of the device, and you will not be allowed to borrow another Chromebook until this has been taken care of.
Handley Parking Permits
Students are permitted to park on school premises as a matter of privilege, not of right. If you are going to be driving to school for the 2021-2022 school year and parking in the Handley parking lot, you must obtain a parking permit. Below you will find instructions on how to register your car and obtain a parking permit.
Vehicle’s year, make, model, & color
License plate number, Driver’s license number, & owner of the car
Paying for and receiving your parking permit
See the school treasurer (main office) to pay the $25 parking fee.
Take the receipt to the main office administrative assistants, and they will assign you a parking space and give you a parking permit.
Last: Hang the parking permit from your rear view mirror
The parking permit must be visible.
The permit will have a number on it. That number is your assigned spot for the year.
You may only park in your assigned spot during school hours. If you fail to park in your spot or break any parking lot rules, you may lose your privilege to park in the lot and on school property.
