We have been receiving a lot of questions about Chromebooks. The new Chromebooks we have ordered have not been delivered. As soon as those come in, we will notify parents to pick them up. The pick up today, Thursday Aug. 20, is for specific items that families were previously contacted about. Until the new Chromebooks arrive, you can use your own devices, including Ipad, laptop, desktop. Even though it is not ideal, you could also use a smart phone to access Google Classroom. We will continue to update our families as we get information about the Chromebooks.

We have updated the banners in the gymnasium. Rather than store this banner we would like to offer it to the community. This banner is available to the highest bidder. Donated money will go toward Buffalo athletics. Bid here on Facebook. We will close bidding on Friday, February 28th! Please share if you know someone on this team. It would look great in a garage or man cave.
