SOCIAL STUDIES

Since we have 40 books and 80 students occasionally your child may need to access the book online.
Since there are some hoops to jump through in order for them to do that, I am allowing them to bring their smartphones/tablets to class tomorrow. We will be logging on to the Internet, and District websites in order to get to the book online.
Please understand, however, that the school is not responsible for any damage to the phone or tablet while your child has it here.
