End of Year Device Reminder:
As the school year draws to a close, we want to remind you that all technology devices issued to students will be collected prior to the start of summer break. Please be aware that families will be held responsible for any damages incurred to these devices. Please see the technology agreement on our website.
We kindly ask that you encourage your children to handle their devices with care and avoid any intentional damage. Please be aware that any damage to Chromebooks may result in financial responsibility and, in some cases, disciplinary action. Taking proper care of these devices ensures they remain in excellent working condition for all students to enjoy. Thank you for your support and cooperation in helping us maintain our technology resources.
Summer Reading
Summer reading workbooks will be provided for students in Kindergarten through Grade 4 during the first week of June.
Fifth grade students will receive a summer reading book and accompanying project as they prepare to transition to middle school. Grade 5 teachers will distribute the book and related assignments directly to students.
