What to Expect:

Scheduled Sessions: Attend sessions to learn about specific classes and programs. Check the session schedule below for details.
Course Offering Packet: Attached here is the course offering packet, or use the QR code below. The QR code will also be displayed on TVs throughout the building on the night of the event to help you navigate.
Building Maps: Maps will be available on tables near doors 4 and 5 to help you find your way.
Co-Curricular Fair: Visit tables in the commons to learn about our co-curricular offerings. While not all clubs and activities will be represented, this is a great chance to explore many of the opportunities available beyond the classroom.

We look forward to welcoming you and supporting your planning for a successful academic year!

Chromebook Borrows

Chromebook and charger loans will reset at the end of the semester. Please carefully review the TPP Guidelines to understand the policies regarding borrowing devices and chargers. Students must bring their charged Chromebooks to class every day.

Grades 9-12 TPP

Chromebook chargers: Students can borrow Chromebook chargers from the library as needed. Chargers are loaned for one school day and must be returned to the library by 2:45 p.m. on the same day.

Failure to return the charger on time will result in:

A $45 fine (until the charger is returned).
Loss of borrowing privileges for the remainder of the semester.

Borrow 1 & 2: Reminder of TPP expectations from library staff. The student receives a loaner Chromebook. It must be returned by the end of the day, or it counts as another borrow. (Chromebook chargers are also available to check out from the Library.)
Borrow 3: Warning that this is the final borrow for the semester. The student receives a loaner Chromebook. It must be returned by the end of the day. An email will be sent home to the parents.
Subsequent Borrows: No additional borrows will be given. The student will receive a printed copy of classroom work, or the student can use a desktop computer in the library. If the student needs a Chromebook for a locked quiz, they must use a Chromebook in the Library.

Borrow count will reset at semester.
