Ms. Alhashemi- 9th ELA

For Thursday and Friday afternoon

Good Evening, This  message is for Fordson High School students.  We will be passing out chromebooks for students who need one.  Chromebooks will be passed out Thursday, March 19^th from 10:00am to 1:00 pm and Friday, March 20th  from 10:00am to 1:00pm.

Distribution of chrome books will be in the back parking lot, next to the Freshmen Academy.  Parents must come to the school, present their child’s student id and sign a form to receive a chromebook.  Only one chromebook will be given per family. If your family received one from the middle school or elementary, we will not provide another one.  

Once a student receives the chromebook, they need to sign on and check their teachers’ blogs for assignments.  Reminder Chrome books will not, I repeat will not be given away without Student ID. Parents are responsible for damages to chrome books.

We ask that everyone exercises patience during this process. Our goal is to support all our students during this difficult time.

We hope you are safe and let us know if you need anything.  Take care.
