The counselors toured one of the new programs at Canadian Valley Tech Center, Hospitality Management. We were able to see some of the students in action. Saydi Swanson was in the middle of making cookies (they smelled amazing) and she agreed to stop and take a picture. We love seeing our career tech students working hard.
In an effort to safely load our students at the end of the day, please be aware of the following procedures. Once the buses have lined up in front of the high school, please do not go around the buses on either side. You can line up behind the buses and follow them through the pickup line. We ask that you follow the posted one-way signs during drop off and pick up. If you need to enter the parking lot after the buses have lined up, you can enter on the north side. Thank you for looking out for the safety of our students.

Chromebook Information: If your child is in grades 6-12, they have the opportunity to purchase insurance for their Chromebook. The $20 insurance policy would cover the cost of replacement/repair for incidental damage that was not intentional in nature. If students chose not to purchase the insurance, the cost of replacing a Chromebook is $200, screen repair-$60, lost charger $35 (or replace independently). If you chose to purchase, it must be purchased in advance of any damage. Checks can be made out to Alex Public Schools and turned in to the high school library. Students have until September 8th to purchase insurance for the 2023-24 school year.
Don't forget Yearbook Pictures and Senior Panel pictures tomorrow! Order forms have been sent home, extras are in the Elementary and HS offices.
