I received a couple of interesting phone calls today. One was from another Jackie Robinson parent, and the other was from Dr. Gwendolyn Mathews of the LBUSD K-8/Middle School office. (more…)
Regarding the provided computer, here’s a look at the general set-up that you’ll receive; which amounts to your basic, Pent-3, enterprise desktop configuration: (more…)
