Hot Spots (internet/wifi access) issued to students/families during the 2020-21 school year will need to be returned prior to or immediately following the last day of school. Please make sure both the unit and power/charging cord are returned. Buildings have arranged drop off times, so if you are not aware of these dates/times please check with your child's school.

NOTE: These hotspots will stop working/transmitting a wifi signal after the end of the school year/June.

Students in Grade 5 and Grade 8 will be bringing devices to their new building (Middle School/High School) on the first day of school.

On the 1st day of school students will be expected to bring their chromebooks with them fully charged and in good working order.

Students/Parents we encourage you to bring in devices over the summer that have been damaged (i.e. cracked screen), are missing parts (i.e. keys on keyboard, power/charging cord), or are not working (i.e. black screen, issues with turning on) so that technology can address it prior to the start of the school year. Please call the HelpDesk at 319.558.2900.
