Friendly Reminders
- Classes begin at 7:05 A.M.
- Students are required to bring their Chromebooks and chargers to school daily.
- Facial coverings remain mandatory.
- ID badges are required to be worn and visible at all times while on campus.
- Food deliveries of any sort (UberEats, DoorDash, etc.) are not allowed. Students nor parents are permitted to order food to be delivered to campus.
- Cell phones must remain turned off, out of sight, and not used during the instructional day unless permitted by the teacher for instructional purposes.
REPORTING DAMAGED CHROMEBOOKS
NS10 has established a Tech Squad to help handle any problems or issues with the district Chromebooks and chargers issued to the Sophomore students. The team consists of campus staff and students from NSSH.
Sophomore students who need help or replacement of their devices or chargers are asked to complete the NS10 Tech Squad Help Desk Ticket which can be found on ClassLink. Within 48 hours, the student will be contacted by a Tech Squad member. The student needs to bring their charger with them in case the device needs to be swapped for repairs.
If you have any questions about these procedures or need further help you can contact Ms. Rogers at crogers@galenaparkisd.com or Mr. Esparza at eesparza@galenaparkisd.com.
Here is a link to the NS10 Tech Squad Help Desk Ticket - https://forms.gle/y8MD3T8JRerwdPQGA. (Please be aware that this is only for 10th-grade students at NS10).
Chargers that are no longer working will be swapped at no charge.
