LMC Information

 *Ms. Sharock has sent the following information to classroom teachers, and we would like to pass this on to you:

This will be the last week for book checkouts.  All books are due back on May 31st so that we can follow up on recovering late overdue books before the end of the year. ~ Ms. Sharock

Please also remind your student to bring in their chromebook and charger to school on June 1st so that they can be checked over prior to summer break. 5th graders will be taking chromebooks and chargers home for the summer and will bring them to their middle school in September. ~Ms. Sharock

If you have any questions related to either of the above pieces of information, please reach out to Ms. Sharock at (gmsharrock@madison.k12.wi.us).

Chromebook Wellness Checks

 

5th Grade chromebooks and chargers will have a chromebook Wellness check June 1 or-June 2nd   Students will exchange devices that need repairs and need to show that they have a charger for their device.  After the wellness check 5th grade students will keep both their device and charger for use in middle school.
