Please remind your students to charge their Chromebook every night and bring it ready for instruction every day to school. Chargers should really be left at home to keep them safe and we do not have the capacity at school for charging student devices. The battery on the new device is great and should last all day. Students should only charge their Chromebook with the charger they were issued, nothing else, please. Any Chromebook questions or concerns can be sent to Traci Matthews, tmatthews1379@pcssd.org. Please consider getting the insurance for the new Chromebook. It is $27 and covers a variety of damages. Families will pay the company directly. No money needs to be sent to the school for insurance. www.smarttechins.com/pulaski or call 877-307-6777 Thank you! Go Stingers!!!

Greetings Parents, This is Nurse Aaron at Maumelle Middle School. I wanted to send out a reminder: ANY medication at the school MUST go through the Nurse's Office. -- A Medication Administration Release Form must be filled out and on file for a student to self-carry any medication. -- Over the counter medications (OTCs) must be prescribed by a physician in order for the student to have it at school. (This includes things like ibuprofen, tylenol, benadryl, etc.) -- The district medication policy is in the Student Handbook on page 55 for your convenience. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Go Stingers!!!

Our wonderfully creative teachers have been providing engaging lessons for their classes during these first days of school! Ms. Faulkner's classes have participated in the following: THE PROBLEM Fred wanted to go fishing in the ocean while on vacation. Fred never wears his life vest. Unfortunately, Fred got caught in a storm, and his boat overturned with Fred underneath the boat while his life vest floated away from him. Did I mention Fred cannot swim? THE SOLUTION You and your team are responsible for saving Fred. You need to move the boat off Fred and ensure that Fred has his life vest on before you can declare victory. RULES You may not touch Fred. You may use only the four paperclips to move Fred, the boat and the life vest. You may not injure Fred in any way. You may not touch anything except the paper clips.
