Be sure to return your technology
Please remember that all District-owned student Chromebooks and iPads (as well as their chargers!) need to be returned to your school before summer break.
We need them back so that we can get them cleaned and ready to go for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year. Your child’s school will be communicating with you on specifics.
We hope your child has a wonderful unplugged summer!
Congratulations Rifle Bears Football State Champions!
