Spring Cleaning

From Dr. G

Parents, it’s that time of the year to spring clean your son/daughter's belongings. It’s a healthy practice to go through book bags to check for things such as: academic progress grade sheets, graded assignments or to see if there is a need for organization, etc. For our older students, please check their chromebook's search history, cell phones, game chats and other related school accessories that your son/daughter may have in their possession.

This is all to make sure that things are in order, and being aware of what’s being searched or text -leading into the end of the school year!

Have a Happy Spring Cleaning

Dr. Shenique Gilbert
