Dear Parents,

Important Technology Update:
From Technology:
We have been working since August on a transition away from Renweb to a more robust comprehensive school system that we believe will pull many of our current components (lunch, library, schedules, day-to-day activities, etc.) all into one place. We want you to anticipate the change and be watching from more information on setting up your accounts and accessing information. We still have a bit more set-up so watch for updates. We will provide written information, videos, and in-person meetings to help with your transition process.
I want to remind parents of rising 9th - 12th-grade students that your student is expected to have a laptop or Chromebook for the coming school year. Students should bring these devices (charged) daily to school. If you have questions about the device requirements please see the Parent BYOD Letter.
I also want to remind all parents, K4 - 12th grade, that your students have access to a powerful suite of products from TextHelp. The school has purchased this suite of tools because we feel that they can provide valuable study tools to our students.
You can always find information about technology at the school technology page which can be accessed from the menu on the right-hand side of the school website under the Parent and Student category.
Congratulations to our Wildcats!
