As a reminder, the tech department is going to cut off device repairs on Thursday, May 14th. If students need a laptop repaired after May 14th, they will need to hold on to it and turn it into the repair line at device collection. Please announce this date to students.

Attention middle school parents and students! Your devices will be collected Wednesday, May 20th. Please make sure you bring your device, case and charger. You will be charged a replacement fee if not turned in.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week Pirates!

It is a full house tonight! Thanks to Mrs. Johnson for preparing our East Minico orchestra and the 5th grade students who will soon be Pirates. As was stated tonight, there are a lot of other players taking part in this process of helping these students achieve success. Parents, bus drivers, custodians, community donors, administrators, and technical staff are all a big part of their growth. Thank you for your efforts!

We still need a lot of help from parents for Teacher Appreciation Week. Please take a minute to sign up by clicking the link below:
