New this year: We've asked your (9-12 grade) students with Chromebooks to keep those devices at school, plugged in at the end of each school day to charge. On the rare occasion that homework must be completed digitally, most assignments that require tech can be accomplished with any computer in the home. Students are not allowed to take their Chromebooks home unless parents have provided a note to the office that the family does not have access to a device at home to complete schoolwork on. If this is the case, the student will then check the Chromebook device out each time they need it at home for school work. We would like to eliminate the use of Chromebooks at home when parents are unaware and are not monitoring the use. I think the students have done a good job of honoring this request. Thanks for your continued help in this area.
It is that time of year again!

October Memory Verse: Help and encourage your student to memorize it (a.k.a. Hide it in their hearts!) “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
Ephesians 4: 31-32
Have a fantastic week!
