Hello Parents & Guardians!

For those of you who missed the 1:1 distribution during schedule pickup on August 21st, we will be distributing chromebooks to students with the appropriate signed forms on the first day of school during the morning hours. 

Please review the Chromebook Handbook and the Technology Acceptable Use Policy by following these links: 
18-19 Chromebook Handbook
18-19 Student Technology Acceptable Use Policy

You can also view these documents on our school website: http://www.imschools.org/technology
The handbook contains rules and guidelines for the use and care of the student chromebook. We encourage you to read this document along with your student.

After reviewing these documents with your student(s), you may choose one of two options to sign the acknowledgement:

1. Printable Acknowledgement Form
2. The digital acknowledgement form link is only available via email to prevent abuse. The link has been emailed to 7-12 parents through our Powerschool alert system. If you did not receive that email, please send an email to chromebook@imschools.org to request the online form.  

Only one parent/guardian signature is required per student. If you have multiple students, each one of them will have to complete the form with their parent or guardian.

Hard copies of the handbook and the acknowledgement forms can be found at the IMHS and Superintendent Offices. If you have access to a printer, you may print the form and sign it and bring it with on Tuesday, August 28th. Students who do not have a signed form will not receive their chromebook.

Please visit our Chromebook FAQ section on our Technology page for more information. 

Ladies and Gentleman:


All systems are a go for Dickinson County's K-8 Robotics Spring Showcase. Students from all over the UP will converge on Iron Mountain and Kingsford next Saturday, May 12 to show their understanding of teamwork, STEM outreach, engineering principles, and Gracious Professionalism.

This event was originally to be hosted in Iron Mountain, but FIRST in Michigan would prefer that the gyms hosting the event to be contained in the same building for safety and student issues. Kingsford has graciously stepped up and agreed to hold the event in the Blue Gym. A formal agenda will follow for anyone interested in checking the events out.

We have a few openings for volunteers. All roles require little or no training, but will be a great learning experience. Volunteers receive lunch and a Tshirt. We have event positions that can last as little as an hour or for the length of the event (4 hours) depending on what type of commitment you are looking for. We can also take any students over 14 as volunteers.

If you are unable to volunteer, please still consider stopping by Kingsford High School on May 12 where opening ceremonies begin at 10 am.

Lastly, if you know of a K-8 student that didn't get involved in Robotics this year, we ask that you bring them to be adopted onto a team for this no-pressure, fun event. Help us reach EVERY STUDENT IN DICKINSON COUNTY.

I am happy to answer any questions you have about this event by phone or email. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Amanda Gibbons
Educational Specialist and Curriculum Lead, FIRST in Michigan
