Hey Tiger Parents! Did you know:

💻✨ Every student in grades 1–12 is issued a Chromebook!
Protect your child’s device with the optional Chromebook Protection Plan—just $30 per student (non-refundable) for the whole year. The plan covers up to 2 accidental damage incidents, giving you peace of mind and keeping your child learning without interruption.

🛡 Why it matters: A broken Chromebook can mean lost learning time and costly repairs. This plan helps avoid surprise bills and keeps students connected at school.

📅 Deadline to enroll: August 28, 2025
👉 Contact your school office or the CCPS Technology Department with questions.

💡🔬 Science can be messy… but we keep it contained!
Our 4th grade scientists in Mrs. Davis's class put the scientific method to the test in a… well… absorbent experiment! 🍼 They hypothesized, measured, poured, and observed to find out exactly how much liquid a diaper can hold. Spoiler: it’s more than you think! 💦

Hands-on science = big curiosity + bigger giggles! 🧪✨ #FutureScientists #STEMfun #4thGradeScience #WhateverItTakes
