Students, we have way to many of you taking your computers home after school. We will be implementing a new policy starting today. If you MUST take your computer home, you must sign it out in the Jr. High Office after getting permission from your teacher. You MUST bring your computer back the following day. If you forget your computer at home, you will need to come to the office to call home to have your computer brought to school. Our Tech department does not have enough loaners to give out if your computer is forgotten at home.
