<p>We have received a request from the district&#8217;s Administrative Leadership Team to have adjustments made to Google Hangouts.  Staring today: Google Hangouts will be turned off for all K thru 8th grade students in the district.  Hangouts will still be available for all 9th thru 12th grade students, as well as for staff.</p>
