4th and 5th Grade Laptops
We will begin to issue 4th and 5th grade laptops on Monday. Parents can come through out the day to pick up a new laptop. Parents are required to turn in the campus issued iPad prior to receiving a new laptop. On Monday and Tuesday from 4:00 to 5:30 PM we will continue 4th and 5th grade laptop distribution. On Saturday, September 19 we will continue with laptop distributions from 9:00-11:00 AM.
If you come to pick up a laptop during the school day from 8:00-3:45, you will need to park and walk up to front of the building.
If you come to pick up a laptop from 4:00-5:30 or on Saturday, you will stay in your car. We will come to you.
Everyone coming to pick up a laptop MUST have the STUDENT ID number with them. We will not look up ID numbers for you.
When driving up, please have your child's first and last name and ID number written on a sheet of paper. This is just like we did back in May.
We sincerely appreciate your patience. All Apple products are on back order and this is the reason for the delay. Once you receive your new laptop, you will see that it was worth the wait.
By now all prek-2nd grade students should have a brand new iPad as well. If you have not picked up your new iPad, please come by the campus. Remember the old iPad needs to be turned in to receive the new iPad.

Celebrating Grandparent's Day September 13, 2020
Grandparents bestow upon
their grandchildren
The strength and wisdom that time
And experience have given them.
Grandchildren bless their Grandparents
With a youthful vitality and innocence
That help them stay young at heart forever.
Together they create a chain of love
Linking the past with the future
The chain may lengthen,
But it will never part…
