At Back to School Night, we welcomed the news from Friends of Dulaney that AC units should be in- stalled in our non-air-conditioned classrooms in time for the return of hot weather in the spring. We are very interested to hear your feedback about the BCPS devices students are now effectively required to carry. Do they seem like a helpful addition to the educa- tional experience? Have they caused problems for you? What does your student think? We're forming a Devices in Schools Committee. If you'd like to serve on that committee or have feedback to share, please email your thoughts to me with "DHS Devices" in the subject line.
