Chromebooks
Students will be issued Chromebooks this week if they have submitted an AUA form. These Chromebooks remain at school to ensure they are charged each day and to limit loss and damages. If there is a special circumstance and a student needs to check out a loaner Chromebook to complete schoolwork, a parent may contact the school to make arrangements.
