Wrangler Families: It appears that we did not post the days of AMI packets due correctly. Your students should have 1-10 and 11-30 turned in by this Friday to stay on track. Please work on finishing packets and turning them in to GJHS or through Google Classroom. Stay well!

Our AMI packets are available on the web at http://go.sdale.org/AMI, or look for the AMI button on your schools' website. In addition to the required lessons, you'll find helpful resources for each grade level including videos and translations for grades K - 2. Please contact your child's teacher if you have any questions. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. ------- Nuestros paquetes de AMI están disponibles en la web http://go.sdale.org/AMI o busque el botón AMI en el sitio web de su escuela.

A parent or guardian must be present in order to get a Chromebook, however, the student does not. We will be here at the school today and tomorrow from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. or until we run out of Chromebooks. Hope to see you soon!

Wrangler Families: We are making our final push for distributing Chromebooks. We are extending to ALL families that DO NOT have a device (i.e. laptop, PC, tablet, etc.) and have internet access.
