If your student is participating in the Idaho Teen Read Challenge, the reading log is due at the end of April to Mrs. Wilson

The West Ada Literary Games runs November 1st through April 1st. Reading journals are due to Mrs. Wilson by April 1st. A survey was sent to all registered participants to see if a new journal was needed. These must be turned in on time in order to get prizes ordered.

Students should be transporting their laptops in a protective case to and from school. To avoid damage, please keep laptops from extreme heat/cold and avoid liquid spills. Do you know if you have device protection? Go to PowerSchool and view the Payment Portal on the right-hand column. You can view payments or bills. Stay tuned for an announcement regarding device protection in the next district newsletter. Lastly, please remind students to keep track of their device and charging cord. These should not be loaned to others for use.

Get ready to rally for a cause! Hoops 4 Hunger is your chance to lead your school to victory while helping eliminate school lunch balances for families in need.
