Please continue reading on the back flap

Our school has one of the best, if not the best computer labs in the District, and possibly in the State of Maryland. I have visited many schools, some do not have much of anything as far as computer labs go, many have enough computers for one class, I have never seen another lab that has enough computers for three classes. This does not include all the classroom computers and laptops. With these amazing resources, our students are learning the 21st century skills needed to be successful in today’s world.

On the inside of this brochure I have complied a list of websites, all of which are free, for your family to use. I encourage you to take some time to look at them and encourage your children to use these great resources to cement their current knowledge and grow to the next level.

Please ask your student about what they have learned in the computer Lab.

If you have any questions, please come by before or after school, send a note, or send an email.

Sincerely,

Ms. MacGeorge
