                         Please review the Chromebook care presentation  Please do not apply any stickers on your borrowed school device. The library will provide painters tape to label the back side with your last name. 
                         Returning library books / WiFi hotspots / textbooks: 
Check at home (or with family / relatives) for any library books or textbooks that have not been returned. 
A message from our district IT department: IF you have a hotspot ( wireless assist) checked out and no longer need it, find the box it came in, pack it up and bring it to school. Ask for a pass to return it to your school library. 
IF you are new to our site a laptop, charger, Social Studies textbook and Math workbook have been set aside for check out /ready for pickup in the library on your first day. A student ambassador will give you a tour of campus and bring you to the library to pick up materials.  Students have access in Clever for any online portions of class materials. 
Incoming students from grade 4 and other sites : Please remove all stickers that have been permitted at your Elem site. Dana will provide labeling on the back with painters tape - color coded for grade level. Our staff will assist you in tidying up your device - removing downloaded items, emails, clearing browsing data, upgrades, etc while you are attending our site. It is most important you care for your laptop while it is checked out to you.
