Note To CC Kids and Parents:
Monday, March 17 and Monday, March 24 TIS will be closed for spring break vacation. We will be sending out more information about future meetings of the TIS Computer Club. The purpose of the first two meetings is to give the kids a taste of the types of possible activities and to gauge interest and demand for future meetings. We had 21 students bring back their permission slips for the first two meetings. That fills up the computer lab. We are currently brainstorming how we can expand and accommodate if additional kids want to join. Look here for more information as it is available. We will also send home notes with the kids. THANKS for your support and interest.
