💻 Use of Chromebooks over Easter Break Students (in Grades 6-8 only) will take home their devices, but we will be "turning them off" over the holiday. What this means is that students won't be able to go online with them. Our intention for this break is to allow network maintenance to be completed, encourage students to have more offline time with their families, ensure the computers aren't being used as a tool for boredom and allow more offline learning/reading to take place. We hope you will enjoy this gift of time and offline conversations. Please have the students recharge their devices the day before they return from break.
Reading is Power Progam 193 SGGS students participated in the Reading is Power reading program last month sponsored by the Norfolk Tides baseball team. All baseball tickets will be distributed the week we return from Spring Break.
🎨 Save the Date – Student Art Show! Join us for our annual Student Art Show on Thursday, May 15th from 3:00–6:00 p.m. in the gymnasium! Every art student will have a framed piece of artwork available for purchase at $30, with proceeds supporting our growing Art Program. Can’t make it in person? A Virtual Art Show will run from May 9–16 so you can view and celebrate our students' creativity online! Directions for purchasing can be found here!
