I hope everyone had an enjoyable, healthy and restful Thanksgiving Break and you’re ready for the next 3 weeks of learning at school!  It looks like snow might be in the forecast this week, so please make sure your child brings boots and snow pants to school if appropriate for the day’s weather. Chromebook Devices As of right now, it is expected that your student brings their laptop to and from school EVERY DAY so that we can use the laptops at school but also have them at home in case we need to go virtual.  Make sure that you charge your device at home every night.  Do not send chargers to school.   Please take the time to go over the digital handbook here with your child.
