We are excited to announce the winners of the "Flying the P" award. We are honoring members of Dragon Tech Support! They have fixed over 150 Chromebooks already this year, ensuring Chromebooks are running well and available to students daily. They spend a lot of time tracking down students for returns and can fix almost anything to help their teachers and classmates with technology. We appreciate your energy, creativity, and hard work throughout the school year to help ensure that every student has a device each day!
Please help us in congratulating them for being selected for this prestigious honor!
