iPads, chargers and cords . . .

Happy Summer!  If your child did not hand in their charger and cord for their school issued iPad - there is still time!  The Middle School Office is open daily, just stop by with the items so we can cross names off of our list!  Please make sure they are the ones issued or if you needed to replace, the items are Apple products.  Should the items NOT be returned, a debt will be incurred.  This could compromise your child's participation in after school activities.  If you are not sure if the items were returned, just give us a call.

Have a safe, happy and relaxing summer!
