Keep Safe Online

Since it is Summer, now is the PERFECT time to learn about online safety. **IF** you have a Powerschool account at MDS, you can join an LMS “class” that has several modules you can go through.

None of this is meant to scare you – but it is always good to be prepared, to know when things look a little fishy. That can save a TON of headaches.

Students and parents with PowerSchool Learning accounts may enroll themselves by going to https://mountdesales.learning.powerschool.com/trule/onlinesecurity/signup and entering the code

Dell laptops and batteries

Here is how to reset it. It takes no tools, and just a few minutes.
