Blue Folder

What is the blue folder? It is a place for your student to store all of their vital information. They will be handed out on the first day. They will have a sticker inside that you can write your student's identification number and school email. This is a great place to keep a class schedule, passwords, and important information to help your students log in and keep up with school information.
