Pierce
In an effort to continue to sustain the life of the Pierce Chromebooks, students will not be allowed to take their Chromebook home with them during the 2024-25 school year. If your rising 6th grader does not have a device at home that your student will be able to use to complete homework assignments, please complete this short Google Form to declare that your family will need to sign out a Chromebook for the 2024-25 school year. The Chromebook will remain at home for the entire year and will not be brought back and forth to school. The Chromebook will be returned to Pierce at the end of the student’s 8th grade year, when your family no longer needs the device at home, or your student withdraws from Pierce.
Once again, only complete this Google Form if your rising 6th grade family does not have a device at home that your student can use to complete homework assignments. Families who declare their need for a Chromebook at home will have the Chromebook delivered to the student on Wednesday, August 28th or Thursday, August 29th. Thank you for your help with this initiative.
All families are required to fill out the Chromebook Loan Agreement in PowerSchool under the Back to School Forms. The back to school forms will be sent in August. Below are additional resources for your review:
