Becker Bulletin

Just a friendly reminder that if you filled out the laptop agreement for your child they are allowed to bring home their Chromebooks for the first time today! We will review specific rules with them for transporting it home, but once they bring it home it is their responsibility.

If bringing the laptop home becomes a problem, please email me and I will make sure your student keeps his or her laptop at school. Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions!

Our tech team will be checking all student laptops tomorrow. This means that students will need to return their laptop, laptop bag, and laptop charger. After tomorrow, students will keep laptops at school and will not be allowed to take them home. We will continue using them at school until the end of the year.

Short Version: Make sure you send students tomorrow with laptop, charger, and bag!

Your students were given two forms for our upcoming field trip to Landis Valley Museum. The forms are due tomorrow (Monday, May 13th).
