Happy Thursday all! We could use your help !! We are having a number of students not charging their Chromebook at home the night before. This is causing many to have to leave class to get a loaner and they miss out on instruction time. Chromebooks in today's times are the textbook for some classes. Please remind your student to charge their device. Thanks as always for your support. - Mr. Gray
