Pictures were given to students last week. Students must bring their picture packet to school on October 11 if they want retakes.

Vision and Hearing Screening for 7th Graders on October 12
On Wednesday, October 12, all 7th graders will do their vision and hearing screening through the district. Please remind your student to bring their glasses to school that day. Thank you!
Purchase Chromebook Assurance - Helps When Chromebooks are Damaged or Lost
In the last week, we have had three chromebooks with damaged screens that cost $150 dollars each to repair. Some of the families did not have Chromebook Assurance which would have covered the cost of the broken screen. Chromebook Assurance also covers financial costs if the Chromebook was damaged beyond repair or lost or stolen. If you haven’t purchased Chromebook Assurance, consider purchasing it. Call our main office at 253-891-5000 if you have any questions. If you need financial assistance, contact your child's counselor.
