As the school year begins, we are excited to transition our student one to one technology from Chromebooks to iPads. To receive a new iPad, students must first return their school-issued Chromebook, case, and charger to the Technology office in room B116. Please note that Chromebooks will no longer function once this transition is complete on Friday, September 5th.

iPad Distribution Schedule (during English classes):
Juniors & Seniors: Tuesday, September 2nd and Wednesday, September 3rd
Sophomores: Thursday, September 4th and Friday, September 5th


To avoid being billed for missing technology, all items must be returned by Friday, September 5th to B116. Families will be billed for any unreturned equipment:
Chromebook – $300
Case – $30
Charger – $30

We appreciate your support in helping this process go smoothly. Please remind your student to bring their laptop, case, and charger on their assigned day.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the technology office.

She was also recognized with a Creative Excellence Award in the Scholastic Art Awards, with her work exhibited at the Maine State Capitol, and received a silver pin for her achievements.
