Mobile Learning Device Information - Chromebooks for 6th-8th Grade
ncoming Grade 6
The district has allocated resources to provide chromebooks for all incoming 6th grade students for the 2023-2024 school year. Devices and chargers will be distributed directly to students once school commences so families do not need to worry about any arrangements for distribution - please know that families do not need to purchase anything.
Incoming Grades 7 and 8
Our 7th and 8th grade students will be continuing their work with the district-issued chromebooks they used during the 2023-2024 school year. The expectations for these items are as follows:
- Remember these devices are school-owned not personal property; take special care with them.
- Find a secure location to store the Chromebook and charger so neither item gets lost during the summer break.
- Remember to return in the fall with your school issued Chromebook and charger - current 6th and 7th graders will not be issued new Chromebooks in the fall.
- If you damage your Chromebook over the summer, please reach out to Tania Manuel [email protected] Arrangements will be made to repair the device. You will need to drop off the Chromebook at Blake and pick it back up when the repair is completed.
- If you need to replace a chromebook charger you may order it from: Replacement Chromebook Charger
We are excited about the prospects that lie ahead as we work to provide your students with the opportunity to learn with this technology and are hopeful that we can foster and promote a positive learning experience. We anticipate sending out more information throughout the year to families regarding user agreements, monitoring usage, and support.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact Tania Manuel ([email protected]).
Blake Library Books
Remember that it is never too late to return or replace a library book. If you pull out your swimsuit only to see a book hiding underneath or jump on your bike and find a book hanging onto the back of it, come and drop it off, there will be a box outside the Blake office. Thank you and have a great summer!!
Thank You to Blake PTO, MCPE, MMA, and SEPAC
Thank you to the Blake PTO, MCPE, MMA, and SEPAC for their generosity and support for students, staff, and families at Blake and across the district! We appreciate all of their efforts and look forward to 2023-2024!

Message from Our Nurses
Please note: A recent physical within the past year with an updated immunization record is required by the MA Department of Public Health for entry into 7th grade. If your child has not had a physical within the past year and you have not yet scheduled their physical appointment, then please reach out to your child’s primary health care provider now to schedule a physical for this summer.
Physicals can be sent to the attention of Tricia Williams at the following address: [email protected] or mailed to my attention at Blake Middle School, 24 Pound Street, Medfield, MA 02052 whichever is more convenient for you.
