Today is a BLACK day.

Following first period today, you will report to your advisory or testing location.  You need to take your device, charger, a pencil, and a book to read with you.   Cell phones, smart watches, and trappers should be left in lockers.

At the end of the day today, all students will leave their devices in their advisory teacher’s classroom.

Good luck on ILEARN!
