MacBook Help
A quick reminder for middle school families: a wealth of MacBook troubleshooting resources can be found on the Student Resources page underneath the Middle tab on the new website. Many common issues with both the MacBooks themselves, as well as the various online textbooks and tools, can be solved using the information posted on this page.

Important Dates
Reminders
- The Annual Fund campaign is winding down this week and we are well-short of our goal of $42,000. This is understandable as only about 20% of our families having participated so far. It is crucial that everyone participates if we are going to come close to our goal. We cannot continue to operate with a financial deficit without cutting programs and personnel that support our students. Please make your donation this week!
- Monday, April 14, is a B Day
- Lunch ordering ends on Tuesday.
- The Sweet Frog Fundraiser is on Tuesday.
- Lunch payments are due on Wednesday.
- Thursday is elementary field day. T-shirts will go home early this week. Please do not wear them before Thursday and please make sure your student is wearing it with khakis and tennis shoes on Thursday.
- Thursday is ARS night at Grouchos from 3-8pm.
- Friday, April 18th is the last make up day. We will run 1/2 day schedule. K-2 will dismiss from 11:15-11:30 with 3-8 from 11:30-11:45
- Friday is Free Dress Friday. Pay $1 and wear the clothes of your choice.
- Please check out Amazon Smile....anytime someone purchases something off of Amazon and has chosen your non-profit, the nonprofit will receive .5% of the value of the purchase.
