Reminder - Care of Devices/Spring Break As we head into spring break, we want to remind families and students that district-issued technology devices are for school purposes. These devices should be stored over break unless students need to complete school work. We want to make sure devices are taken care of and ready for school when we return so please do not bring them on trips over the break. This is a good time for the devices to be updated, restarted, and charged to be ready for school. Thank you for your help. Food Service Changes Congratulations to Three Patton students who will have their artwork put on display in Dr. Bein’s office through June!
