CHROMEBOOK RETURN:HELPFUL/ACTION

All 8th Grade students moving on to high school, and any student moving on from Cascade K-8 will need to return their Chromebook on  Thursday 6/22.  Please let your students know they will need to have the following items to turn in:

1. CHROMEBOOK

2. CHARGER

3. Please charge the Chromebook the night before you turn it in, so that the Chromebook has at least a 50% charge on June 22nd. 

For reference, the following charges apply if applicable and will be added to student fine lists:

School Plan on 6/22:

Time	Action	Staff Responsible	Location
11:30-12:00	8th Grade Students bring all items to the library for check in. If an 8th Grade Student is finished with check in before lunch, they will return to class.  If they finish after 12:00, they will be told to go to the cafeteria	Gretchen Kerri	Library
12:00-12:45	Lunch and continued Chromebook turn in. Once students have finished eating, if they have not turned in their Chromebook, they will be directed to the library to take care of that before going outside.	Rebbecah Gretchen Kerri	Cafeteria/Library
12:45-1:00	Any Journey students leaving Cascade bring all items to the library for check in.  K-5 should not have an individual Chromebook checked out to them, but if someone has this for an accommodation please send them to the library to check it in.	Gretchen Kerri	Library

CAMPUS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT (FIELD REPLACEMENT)- Please see below for messaging from our district Capital Projects Manager, Jim Price

The status of the project is as follows:

• The project has been bid and Premier Field Development is under contract to perform the work.

• The City of Shoreline is in the process of reviewing the permit drawings.  They have released a permit review comment letter which is being addressed by the design team.  This process has taken longer than expected, so the release date of the permit could impact the current start date of the project.  We are closely monitoring this status.

• The Contract is tentatively scheduled to mobilize on site sometime after the 4th of July holiday. This is contingent on the City releasing the permit.

• The work is scheduled to run from July through October with the final completion date occurring on October 31st.  The release of the permit could also impact the final completion date.

The field will be synthetic turf with cork infill which was used on previous projects at Echo Lake and Parkwood.  We are not using crumb rubber infill. Alsol, there are new soccer goals and ball control netting installed on the east and west ends of the field. I have attached a site plan which shows the new field and soccer line layout.
