Technology Tip:
We have noticed a few students that downloaded extensions that appear to be a regular app like calculator or camera that causes changes to their search engine or the way the keys work. Please have your child come down to the STAT room before school, at fast , or lunch so we can disable those extensions and restore their account if they are having those issues.
