We are reaching out to ask for your partnership in helping our students take proper care of their Chromebooks. Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of devices needing repair. To ensure students have reliable access to their technologyโand to avoid unnecessary downtimeโwe are reviewing Chromebook care expectations with all students.
Attached you will find:
Basic Chromebook Care Guidelines โ These are the same rules we are teaching and reviewing with students at school.
Repair Fees for Intentional Damage โ This outlines the costs associated with repairs if a device is damaged because of misuse or negligence.
Please take a few moments to review both attachments with your child. Reinforcing these expectations at home helps us protect school resources and ensures consistent access to learning tools for all students.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school devices in great condition. If you have any questions, please donโt hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
Erin Demyan

Our 6th grade Career Exploration students took their learning beyond the classroom during a career experience at Taylorsville Lake State Park. Students interacted with professionals from the Raptor Sanctuary, Fish & Wildlife, the Parks Department, Emergency Fire Services, and the Extension Office. They learned about native raptors, invasive insects, EMS search and rescue, controlled burns, hunter safety, survival skills, and park maintenance, and explored local ecosystems on a nature walk.
A huge thank you to all the professionals who took time out of their schedule to provide our students with this experience. Experiences like this help students connect classroom learning to real-world careers, inspiring curiosity and future readiness.

We will release at the following times:
Spencer County High School, Hillview Academy, and Spencer County Middle School will release at 1:00 PM
