BisonBots ROBOTICS 2023-24 Team

Are you interested in Robotics? Robotics is a time-intensive, team-centered activity stretched out over a long competition season. It often ramps up in the weeks prior to competitions, where extra practices are needed to get projects, presentations, and robots ready for competitions.

**There are a limited number of slots on the BisonBots Robotics Team.

Applications are due Friday, September 1, 2023 by 3:15PM., to Mrs. Lake, Room C103.

The application link is below or students are welcome to pick up applications in the front office.

Go BisonBots!

Lockers

Students are welcome to decorate the INSIDE of their locker using magnets or sticky-tack.



Please do not use tape or other adhesive strips.

Stickers on Chromebooks

When Chromebooks are damaged and in for repair, students will not receive back their original Chromebook. They will receive another new or repaired Chromebook, so students are not able to personalize their Chromebook.


We want to remind students not to place stickers on their Chromebooks. We need for all Chromebooks to stay sticker-free. Thank you!
