Great first week everyone. It was really great to meet a lot of your students as they were nothing but excited and happy to be at school with friends. Also thank you families for having your wellness forms completed each morning which has greatly assisted our morning drop off.
Below are some quick updates on the week to come:
Chromebooks
7th and 8th grade students will be receiving their school Chromebook on Wednesday and Thursday next week during school. All students should be charging their devices every evening and bringing their charged computers to school each day. We do not want them bringing their computer chargers to school. 6th Grade students will be receiving their devices the week of August 31st with more details coming in next week's Cougar Connect.
Wellness form for Monday, 8/23 - Tuesday 8/24
