This is our last week of school. 5th grade graduation is on Tuesday, and students will dismiss early on Wednesday (12:15 for car riders and 12:30 for bus riders). We hope all of our families will have a safe and restful summer, and we look forward to welcoming back our Eagles in August!
Library Books
Please help your student return any library books.
iPad Information for Grades 3-5
Students in 3rd-5th grade will keep their iPads over the summer. Students in 3rd-5th grade who have not paid the annual insurance fee will turn in their iPad to the library prior to the last day of school. Families who would prefer the student's device NOT come home for the summer, should turn in their device and charger/cable to the school library before the last day of school. Students are expected to arrive at school with their iPad on the first day of school, August 22nd.
In addition, families who were issued a Kajeet are to return all Kajeets to the school library. All Kajeets will be turned off over the summer and reissued in the fall. Any technical assistance needed over the summer please email: techhelp@glnd.k12.va.us

Summer Opportunities
Monday all students will receive a special Byrd bag with two books (of their choosing), math materials, and a packet with recommended summer learning activities.
