PTO: A huge shout out to everyone who came out, participated in, and supported our dodgeball tournament. We made over $300 to purchase books for the library!
Our first dance of the school year is coming up soon! Tickets are being sold during homeroom and afterschool. Tickets are $10 and include a "glow kit" Complete with glasses, a bracelet and necklace.
The proceeds from the dance & dodgeball tournament will be split between our library and a digital sign in front of our school https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805044CADA622A4F58-58827411-2025

Some forms were not available to you at the time of your submission. Please complete the grade specific form(s) below for your 8th grade student.
Technology Insurance: We encourage everyone to purchase technology insurance. The cost is $25 and must be purchased each year. This can greatly reduce your cost if your student breaks their screen, loses a key, or breaks a port in the chromebook. Technology insurance can be purchased during the first 10 days of school and is good for one use. The link to purchase chromebook insurance is here: https://osp.osmsinc.com/ABSS/BVModules/ProductTemplates/Bvc2013/Product.aspx?productid=AT052-409
ABSS Mobile Learning Handbook: Please read the linked ABSS Mobile Learning Handbook. In order to receive a laptop, all students must return a signed Student/Parent Mobile Device Agreement form. That form can be printed off from the mobile learning handbook. We will also have copies of the form for students during the first week of school.
