Deadlines, Chromebooks, and Minutes...

Spiritwear - This is NOT a PTO fundraiser. Several people asked about getting "Class of" shirts so here's your opportunity. The deadline to order is Monday, April 20th at noon. Order online... https://hixsonmiddleschoolpto.itemorder.com/sale

Chromebooks - Due to the failure of Props S & W, budget cuts now have to be made. The money earmarked for Chromebooks for the incoming 7th graders has to be given back to the district. The teachers had cut their own budgets to help pay for them as they believe it will greatly benefit their/our students but are now left with a huge shortfall. They still need to buy 215 more at $275 a piece. The PTO will begin a campaign shortly to help close that gap. Just because the Props failed doesn't mean our kids don't need this tool and YOU could be solution. Look for more info to follow shortly.
