📦 Time to Turn Them In!
Chromebook Collection is Coming!
The end of the school year is right around the corner, and it’s time to get those Chromebooks ready for return. Here’s what you need to know to make the process quick and smooth:
✅ What to Do Before You Turn In Your Device
Remove all stickers and decorations
➤ Don’t forget to clean off any sticky residue!
➤ A safe way to clean: use a slightly damp cloth (water only) — no chemicals or sprays!
➤ Check that your device is fully charged (100%)
➤ Turn in your charger
➤ Must include both parts: the brick and the cable!
➤ Report damage early
➤ If your device isn’t working or is damaged, turn it in now — don’t wait for collection day!
➤ Ask questions?
➤ See your school’s Media Specialist for help.
Come join in the fun at the Cinco De Mayo Event taking place in Mascotte

Our very own Gray Middle School Basin St. Jazz Band, performed at the second annual Orange Blossom Jazz Festival in Apopka. This festival wasn’t about scores or evaluations, but instead getting together with other middle and high schools as well as the University of North Florida and Florida State University Jazz Bands.
We had a great time and learned a lot about jazz!

Testing season is almost here and WE ARE READY! This week we had Secret Spirit Week for our staff and they dressed like students today. We also had Test Fest Olympics where students competed for a medal followed by academic Bingo. Everyone showed what they knew and had a blast!
On Thursday, students in Civics demonstrated their understanding of systems of government by using Play-doh, toothpicks, and pipe cleaners to model what the 3 systems of government would like. Students had to correctly shape the Play-doh to demonstrate who had the most power and used the pipe cleaners to show which direction power flowed. They had a blast using their creativity to demonstrate their learning!
The Con is a totally student led play that has been created by our talented Gators. Well done!
