As hard as it is to believe, we are very near the end of the school year. Beginning, Friday, April 30, we are asking all students to leave their iPads AND chargers at school. iPads and chargers will be accounted for and then redistributed in the fall for use next school year. Please remind your child to bring their chargers to school by Friday, April 30. Beginning Friday, April 30, all iPads will stay at school for the remainder of the school year. Wednesday remote learning will not require use of an iPad. Thank you for your assistance with this task!!

Remember, tomorrow March 31 is a day for students to attend school. They are off school and doing remote learning Thursday, Friday, and Monday. Mrs. Phillips
