Parent-teacher conferences will take place on Wednesday, September 10 and on Thursday, September 11 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. This is a valuable opportunity for parents and guardians to connect with teachers and work together to support students’ success. These conversations help ensure that every student is supported academically, socially, and emotionally throughout the school year.

Taking care of your Chromebook is an important part of making sure it works when you need it most. Treat it like a valuable tool, not just another school supply. Follow these tips to keep it safe, clean, and ready for learning all year long:

• Carry it the right way – Hold it with both hands, lid closed, and never pick it up by the screen.
• Keep the protective case on – It’s there to protect against drops, scratches, and “oops” moments.
• Avoid food and drinks nearby – Crumbs and spills can cause serious damage.
• Watch the temperature – Don’t leave it in hot cars, direct sun, or freezing cold.
• Be gentle with the screen and keyboard – No poking the screen, slamming the lid, or leaving objects on the keyboard.
• Charge it overnight – Plug it in before bed so it’s ready for the next day.
• Report issues right away – Cracks, missing keys, or charging problems should be reported to a teacher or tech office immediately.
• Take responsibility – It’s checked out to you, so treat it like you would your own phone or other important device.
