A Message from the Principal...
Dear friends,
Not much to report on this week other than I received a call from Assistant Superintendent, Greg Mizel this morning regarding the SAI proposal process. The review process is taking longer than expected. We will learn more about the fate of our proposal in early February. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile, stay dry.
Sincerely,

Our Social Contract

Damaged Chromebooks
We have had several Chromebooks submitted for repair with missing keys on the keyboard. This is typically from students pounding on the keyboard, etc. We are unable to replace a single key, and unfortunately, an entire new keyboard is required to repair the damage. Each keyboard is $109 which is almost half the price of a new Chromebook. Please remind your students of how privileged we are to have access to these resources and we need to exercise care while using them.

Got Ideas, Resources or Shout Outs?
Let's be LOUD and PROUD this year and use our S'more to share collectively. Send a great strategy, a picture of your class in action, a Shout Out, or a resource to Shaylene, and she will add it to the S'more to share with the Ram Fam!
It's GREAT to be a RAM!
