Cards for Kids

Students in grades 1-5 participated in Cards for Kids last week. Students made Valentine's Cards for children at the Children's Hospital in Greenville. Cards were delivered to Magic 98.9 radio station who headed up the program and delivered the cards to the children.

Email

This week in computer lab students in 3rd-5th grade will practice using their student email. We will discuss how to access the student email and the proper way to use email. Students can access their email at home, as well. Student email is accessed through Google. 
Please talk to your child about proper email etiquette as well as being safe while using email. We will discuss proper email usage as well as email safety but this is something you should discuss with your child, as well. Please remind them that while their name is on the account, the school and school district can access the email at any time. And school email is for school use,
