Computer Lab

We would like one or two volunteers to help in the computer labs from 8:45 to 10:45 every Thursday and Friday. We will have 1st and 2nd grade doing STAR reading tests and EDUSS tutorials. The volunteers will assist the students in logging in and basic keyboard skills. This would be an ongoing assignment where they could also assist with the library and reading to the classes.

Thanks, the Library Staff

to volunteer in the computer lab, please contact our Librarian, at this link: Sheri Roberts

Recycling

*PARENTS* Unfortunately Excelsior families will be unable to use the recycle bins at the academy. The school is filling the two bins and will need all of the room. If you have any questions, you may contact the Recycling Coordinator, listed under "Contact Us". Thank you!
