Find out where these messages come from, the data behind them, and why they're being used as part of the district's Positive Community Norms (PCN) Grant at a SPARC & ISD 199 Community Kickoff.

Student chromebooks have a fan for cooling on the bottom of the device.  If you block the fan by having the device sitting on a bed, pillow, or other soft material it will overheat and potentially no longer work.  If that happens, you will be responsible for the repair/replacement of the device.  

Other reminders:  

• no stickers or other items are to be applied to the device. 
• no eating or drinking while using the device

Seniors with a lunch or study hall release: You must get to your classes on time. Those that come in late from a release, may have these privileges revoked. 
Starting today, all cars in the student parking lot must have a parking permit. See Ms. Sievert if you have not yet received your permit.   Attention students:  Food must stay in the cafeteria. Students are not allowed to eat lunch in the common areas or staff offices, and must be in the cafeteria during their lunch times. Seniors with lunch or study hall release must leave campus during the time of their release.
