Student Chromebook Collection before Winter Break
Similar to last year, we will be collecting student Chromebooks before students leave for winter break. This year, all CHS teachers will collect student Chromebooks during Advisory period on Thursday, December 19th. If students have a math, social studies, or elective final exams on Thursday, December 19th during 6th, 7th, or 8th period and that final exam requires the students use their Chromebooks, those students may keep their Chromebooks and turn them in to their Advisory teachers immediately after their 6th, 7th, or 8th period final on Thursday.
Also, students in the following classes will need to keep their Chromebooks on Thursday, December 19th for the Hour of Code. Students will bring their Chromebooks to their Advisory teachers after these classes:
T.Marsh's 6th period
Figg's 7th period
Adams's 8th period
As teachers collect student Chromebooks on Thursday, December 19th, each teacher will complete the tracking spreadsheet linked below. We (Mrs. Prather and Dr. Watkins) will use this to track down missing student Chromebooks. Please make sure that students POWER OFF Chromebooks!

The following students will turn in their Chromebooks to Mrs. Prather in the Library before/during lunch on Thursday, December 19th:
Students who have Advisory at GRTS or Litton Ag Center
Students who have mornings and/or afternoons at TLC
Students who typically turn in their Chromebooks to Mrs. Prather at the end of each day
