Class of 2031 (Current Seventh Graders): Students returning for eighth grade will keep their Chromebook over the summer and use it again in eighth grade.
Class of 2030 (Current Eighth Graders): Students will have their Chromebooks and chargers collected on June 11 and 12 during PE classes. At that time they will receive their new Chromebook and charger for high school. In order to receive a new Chromebook, the Chromebook and charger turned in must be in good working condition. In the event there are damages to the Chromebook that must be repaired, a new Chromebook will not be issued until that financial obligation is paid in full. A fee of $35 will be assessed for chargers not returned.
For students leaving the district, regardless of grade, the Chromebook and charger issued must be returned to the school as part of the regular sign out process.

For Mental Health Awareness Month I wanted to include this list of activities from Reach Out Recovery that are good for any age to help you get out of Flight or Fight mode. I hope you find some of them helpful.
