Ava can also be found helping other students, working her hardest, and showing great school spirit. I am so glad to have Ava as one of my students this year. Keep being awesome!"

Chromebook Insurance
Please see the attached flier below for Chromebook insurance in case your student's device sustains any damage throughout the course of the year. If you are a 7th or 8th grade parent, you will need to renew your insurance policy if you bought it last year. With middle schoolers, things happen! The prices to repair a chromebook add up fast and the student and parent is responsible for any damage to the school device. Common fixes include a new screen (which would run parents $58 to fix) or when a key pops off, the entire keyboard needs to be replaced (at a cost of $72). It's a great idea to sign up for the device insurance!
