Headphones

Just a reminder that if your student was in grades K-3 last year and you sent headphones to school, their headphones should still be stored in the computer lab. (With the exception of those that broke, stopped working, etc.)

This year all students, grades K-8, will have the opportunity to store their headphones in the lab. We ask that they bring their headphones to class in a freezer size ziploc bag, with their name written on both the headphones and the bag. Bags help keep cords from tangling, therefore prolonging the life of the headphones. 

If students grades 5-8 wish to carry their headphones back and forth, they may do so, but they must bring them to class with them. 

We do highly recommend that students have their own headphones to use. Walmart sells basic black headphones by Koss for $4.88. We do not recommend earbuds for students grades K-3, they generally do not fit comfortably in students' ears, nor do we recommend fancy headphones with extra bells and whistles!

***All Grades - It is recommended that students bring their own headphones for computer lab. These can be stored in the lab. For younger students we do not recommend ear buds, because they do not fit comfortably.***

*** All Grades -  It is also recommended that students bring or wear tennis shoes for P.E. This helps protect feet from injuries.***
