Message From the Principal
Please help your child remember to charge their iPad every night, and make sure they grab it for school every morning. This is an important tool that they need to have at school daily, students started getting iPad write-ups this week for any iPads not charged to at least 50%, not bringing their iPad to school and not turning it in to Ms. Savanna at the end of the day if they leave their iPad at school.
