Technology OnBoarding Session
All rising fifth graders and new students must participate Technology OnBoarding sessions. If you’ve not done so already, please follow this link to sign up for a session. In the session, students will be introduced to their Chromebooks and learn how to responsibly navigate key tools such as Google Drive, Gmail, and other School-supported platforms. We’ll also emphasize digital citizenship—helping students understand how to communicate effectively, stay safe online, and use technology in meaningful ways. This onboarding ensures your student starts the year with confidence and the skills needed for success in a tech-integrated environment. There is no charge for this session.

If you have not previously registered for any of the School’s Extended Programs, this step-by-step guide will assist you in creating an account.

Frank Baum’s beloved tale, featuring the iconic musical score from the MGM film. The timeless tale, in which young Dorothy Gale travels from Kansas over the rainbow to the magical Land of Oz, continues to thrill audiences worldwide.
