“A” Day
8th Grade Boys Basketball Meeting for HS
There will be a Player Meeting for all 8th-grade Boys planning to play Basketball next year in High School. The meeting will be on Wednesday, April 30, at 8:15 am in the Music Room. Boys will need to bring their Chromebooks with them to the meeting
All MS Students - We will not be checking in Chromebooks over the summer. If you have any equipment issues with your Chromebook, please stop by the Middle School Library as soon as possible to get those repairs done prior to the end of the school year. (Any screen cracks, screen detachments, plastic cracks/breaks, etc… need to be fixed ASAP.) This will also make sure you have a usable Chromebook for over the summer. (Remember to take good care of your Chromebook, you will be able to purchase these at a discounted price when you graduate.) If you are planning on leaving the district, please check in your Chromebook prior to leaving.
Since this is a school-issued device, remember that all internet and other device usages will continue to be monitored over the summer and addressed with school administration and parents. Please keep the devices charged over the summer. Letting devices sit with a dead battery will ruin your device.
We encourage you to take out the device protection plan each year! It often pays for itself if one damage occurs. It’s well worth the money.
8th grade students (Or any student leaving the district.) - You will be checking in your Chromebook before the end of the school year on Wednesday, May 21st. We will start turning 8th grade Chromebooks on Monday, May 19th. You will need to have your Chromebook (With stylus) and charger in proper working order and ready for check in on that day. If you have any damages to the Chromebook or charger (Or missing your Stylus.) make sure you get these repaired ASAP by visiting the MS Media Center. Any damages that are not fixed before the 16th will be assessed an additional late damage fee of $10 (in addition to the cost of repairs). Avoid the extra fee by getting your device repaired ASAP!
If you have any fines going into your freshman year from not paying for a damaged Middle School Unit, you will not receive a High School Chromebook until it is resolved. If you are leaving the district, your records will not be released to your new school until fees are paid.
You will be receiving a new device this fall as you start your freshman year. At the end of your senior year, you will be able to purchase the device at a large discount, so make sure you take good care of your Chromebook! We encourage all students to take out the protection plan coverage each year on your Chromebook. All 8th-grade students will not have a school-issued device over the summer. (We will be offering some Chromebooks for sale in the upcoming weeks, so if you want one over the summer, that may be an option for you. Watch the daily bulletin for announcements concerning Chromebook sales.)
