The Hive - Parent and Student Newsletter - September 14, 2025

Dear Families,

This week's newsletter explores many technology updates from the county. From learning to be safe online, to exploring careers through virtual reality googles- take the time to explore these opportunities.

As a reminder, if your student is taking a CCP course and purchased a textbook, be sure to submit the textbook reimbursement form listed under Useful Links.

Sincerely,
Chrissy Rotan

Senior Email Accounts Reminder: Remind your seniors that they should have another email address for corresponding with colleges. After graduation, their student email and Google account are decommissioned and cannot be retrieved. Preparing for this ahead of time will hopefully save everyone a few headaches.
