Chromebooks:
All students should bring their charged Chromebooks with them to school each day, and it is also recommended that they pack their Chromebook charger. Our building does have loaner Chromebooks for the rare occasions when a temporary device is needed. If a replacement charger is needed students can pick up a new one from the library; a $22 fee will be assessed for a replacement charger. Thank you for your help in making sure your student is ready to learn each day!
