Hallway Safety

It's that time of year where students come in to school with lots of gear! If you have students who place their things in lockers, please remind them to make sure all their stuff gets in their lockers. 

I understand that I sound like an old grump when I send a reminder about this, however,  it is a safety concern. In addition, we have students who need assistance with walking and should have a clear hallway to walk down. 

Thanks for reminding the kids! 



From Technology

As part of work done this fall to review and gather data relative to the Approved Digital Tool List, the following changes will be made effective Monday, February 6, 2023, to the Digital Tool Request Form, Free and Purchased Versions. The purpose of these changes is to gather more information and data while approving a new digital tool. Data collected about the   current Approved Digital Tool List was reviewed with the district Technology Committee, and the modifications came as part of that work. 

 

Current Form
