Cell Phones:  

The majority of our student body is doing a great job with the ABSS Wireless Communication Device ProceduresAs a quick reminder, wireless devices should be placed away from students (in the cell phone holders) during instructional time.  We should not be able to see them on students (in pockets, in ears, etc.)  Thank you for your continued support with these new procedures.  


Back To School Forms: 

Parents, have you created your Infinite Campus Account?  If not, check your email.  More information about Infinite Campus as well as a link to download the app can be found here.  

Chromebooks:  

Students who do not have chromebooks yet, will be able to check them out during 1st and 2nd period tomorrow.. This year, we are offering families the opportunity to purchase optional insurance for their student(s) chromebook.  The cost of the optional insurance is $25.  This premium is good for one instance of unintentional breakage (lost or intentional damage is not covered) and will help protect you from higher cost.  You may elect when to apply your premium.  Once used, the family would have the option to replace the optional insurance premium for an additional $25.  For more details, including a list of part replacement costs, click here for the Mobile Learning Handbook.  You may use this link to purchase the optional insurance.
