You work tirelessly for your students and the difference you make in their lives is priceless. You build the foundation to support whatever they choose to do, college and/or career. They all will be able to stand tall in all they do in the future due to your hard work, determination and dedication. What a responsibility, but what an honor too!

Technology & Media
Please note that in the near future, Chromebooks will have to be converted to testing mode to prepare for the GA Milestones. I am trying to keep them in circulation for as long as possible but this means that you will need to be flexible and understanding when the deadline arrives (I'm not exactly sure when that will be!). My hope is that once we have tested them, we can put them back into circulation until it's time for the real deal.
