Back to School Reminders
Chromebooks
Reminder: It’s important for students to charge their Chromebooks and bring them to school each day. Loaner devices are limited, and borrowing one disrupts class time. Having their devices ready to go helps them stay on track with their learning and ensures a smooth start to the school day. Thank you for your support in helping students be prepared!
