Student Drop-off and Pick Up Update
We had a great turnout this week for MacBook Turn-in and material pick up. Thank you for your assistance!
If you still have supplies that need to be returned to school, starting on Monday, June 1, the main office will be available to drop off these items from 8 to 4, Monday through Friday.
If your student needs to access their lockers, they need to wear face covering and will enter through the main office.
For students who are late AP testing this week, they can return their MacBooks during this time as well as soon as they have finished testing. AP late testers must have their macs returned by June 8th if they aren’t enrolled in Summer School.
If your student is enrolled in Summer School, they will keep their Mac through Summer School and information will be coming out at a later date regarding their laptop turn-in.
