Google Apps for Education Permission Form (upcoming 5th grade)

Hello Parents:

This year is quickly drawing to a close, and we are working to get Google Accounts for fifth graders created and ready for the next school year. A copy of the permission form for TCS Student Google Apps is coming home this week. Please read the document carefully, then sign and return the last sheet to school as soon as possible. All forms should be returned by Friday, May 8th. Students in the fifth grade will use Chromebooks on a frequent/daily basis next year, and must have an account to login to the device. Please contact me if you have any further questions.

Thank you!

Pink Engineers Club @ PI

The Pink Engineers Club from HTHS came over to work with our girls in Engineering Club, Science Olympiad, Math Team and GaTE. They led our aspiring engineers through teamwork and collaborative activities, discussed what engineering is all about, shared what engineering classes, clubs, and academies are available at the middle and high school level, and finally challenged our girls to find a way to build the tallest free-standing tower out of select materials...problem-solving at its best!
