Tech bundles
Check out this video for details! Let me know how you would like to proceed regarding the tech bundle(s) for your child(ren).
Some helpful things to know:
These bundles will require NO Planning amounts
The usual tech rule applies: Students are only allowed possession of one computer and one iPad (base model) at a given time. (excluding the $50 Chromebook and the SORA iPad. You are able to have both a computer and the $50 Chromebook. You are able to have both an iPad and a SORA iPad)
If your student already has both an iPad and a computer, you can choose to upgrade and return their current device. You will simply select one of the UPGRADE options below. If this option is selected the tech team will provide information as to how to return your current device
Families will select one of the options below from the Procurify catalog based on your student's grade level
There will be a 6 week lead time for all of these orders
These options will become available on November 1, 2023, in the Procurify catalog and they will only be available during the month of November
The list of Applications will be coming soon!
LP3 Work Samples
Our LP3 work sample will be Social Studies. Texting me a screenshot or emailing a pdf, whatever's easiest for you is totally fine. Please make sure the following are included on the work sample:
- Student first and last name (they must write their own name- for TK/K, you may write their last name)
- Date the assignment was completed (Between 10/16/23 and 11/16/23- please make sure it's a school day- Saturdays, Sundays and any holidays won't be accepted)
- Subject (Social Studies this time for TK-8th)
- A grade from you (TK-3rd grade can be a star or happy face, 4th-12th grade must be a percentage, letter grade, or ratio)
*Remember, this must be a sample of student's best work!
