Mrs. Ku participated in Manchester CREATES at UNH. This PD equips teachers with the knowledge and skills to integrate regenerative medicine and biotechnology into their classrooms. She designed a unit for her 6th graders on how bioplastics can solve real world medical problems.

Dear Families, We need your help talking to your children about a dangerous TikTok trend encouraging students to force items like paper clips into chromebooks to cause short circuits. This can cause serious damage to the devices and presents a fire risk that threatens the safety of our students. Students engaged in this behavior will be billed for damages and face consequences under the student code of conduct. Thank you for your support. Thank you, Principal Szuksta
