We will not hold a traditional Back to School Night prior to the start of school. on the first day of school, students will report directly to the gymnasium when they enter the building. We will greet and talk with students in the gym to begin the day. paper schedules will be handed out at that time and students will be split up into their classes for building tours and other beginning of the year housekeeping items.

On Wednesday, September 14th we will have an Open House/Meet the Teachers event from 5-6:00pm. More details are in the letter.

With the increase cost in school supplies, along with everything else, we are trying to ease that burden.

1 composition notebook and 1 spiral notebook, college ruled

5 - 2 pocket folders

1 box of colored pencils

Students will have access to loose-leaf notebook paper, glue sticks and scissors when needed.

Students may choose to purchase their own supplies and will be responsible for their own if they loose or use them up.

Students are responsible for supplying the following on their own;

Pencils

Earbuds/headphones

Scientific Calculator (Texas instrument, TI-30x IIs)

There may be limited specific supplies needed based on different class that students will find out when school begins.

The link below will give you instructions for how to use Google Drive in "offline" mode. I understand that many of you already know how to do this, but I wanted to level the playing field and make sure everyone has the same information. If you have "spotty" or unreliable internet, if you have a lot of people sharing a connection, or if you are concerned about data caps and overage charges, this can be a big help and good tool. Basically, it allows you to access and work on files without being online. Then you can share the files later when you're back online. Follow the directions below to make files available offline and how to make your offline work available online again.
