We hope you will encourage your child to do their best work to get an accurate depiction of their abilities. Please ask your students if they still have the headphones you sent with other school supplies at the beginning of the year. Earbuds are an inexpensive alternative if you find they have misplaced their headphones. If your students is in grades 6-8, please make sure that your student is in the habit of charging their chromebook and bringing it to school. We thank you for partnering with us!
