Please ensure that students are not eating or drinking in the cafeteria with their laptops present. The technology user policy states no food or drinks near computer.

Please complete these in the system by December 11th. “Random Acts of Kindness”. Remember, you can give students paws for acts of kindness (they are available in the office and are to be placed in Mrs. Weaver’s box). Check out the paws in the Common Area!
