School Supplies
For the 2025-2026 school year the district budgeted for and is providing the necessary school supplies for students so there is no list to share with students and families.
If students elect to bring a backpack, that is something that they will be responsible to get/have.
Students should come to school each day with their charged chromebook as well as writing utensils. Some classes have students utilize their chromebooks to watch videos with sound so students can bring their own headphones or earbuds.
We will also provide all students with 1 pair of WIRED headphones for instructional use at the discretion of teachers
Chromebook Reminders
Please have your child charge the Chromebook leading up to the first day.
Prior to the first day, please turn on the Chromebook and log in to make sure it is working correctly, is updated, and fully charged.
Need a charger? Replacements are available for $20
District-issued Chromebooks use lithium-ion batteries, which can occasionally fail. To prevent potential issues, follow these guidelines:
Charge with Supervision: Only charge the device when someone is present.
Limited Charging Time: Charge the Chromebook for a few hours; the red light next to the charger port will turn green when fully charged. Avoid overnight charging.
Hard Surface: Always charge the device on a hard surface. Avoid fabric surfaces like chairs, couch cushions, blankets, pillows, or beds.
Monitor Heat: If the Chromebook becomes hot while charging, unplug it and report the issue to the school.
Remember, adhering to these best practices can help prevent battery failure and potential damage.

Generic Student Agendas are available for purchase in the Main Office at the start of the school year
Students Agendas are $5. **Please see your AP if you need financial assistance
Student Agendas are meant to help keep students organized and it also contains hall passes
