Hi Teachers,

 

Here is the link for families who wish to opt-out from keeping their student’s assigned device over the summer.

Summer device Opt-out form: https://go.nsd.org/optout  

If you choose to send the opt-out link with your newsletter, kindly have the families fill out the form on or before the June 14th, 2023. This will give me enough time to plan and pull out the devices that are not going home for the summer.

 

 

I would highly recommend you check if your students are able to locate their Chromebook, chargers, and carrying cases. Please make them check if the CBs are in good working condition. If a student lost/needs a charger/bag, ask them to reach out to me ASAP.
