Welcome Back!
Good afternoon,
We are writing to share important information about student iPads, Required Annual Updates, and Free/Reduced meals for the 2024-2025 School Year.
2024-2025 Required Annual Updates:
Please login to the PowerSchool Parent Portal to complete your required Annual Updates. If you need access to technology, we will have computer workstations available at iPad pickup for parents/guardians to complete their 2024-2025 Required Annual Updates (emergency contacts, handbooks, medical updates, etc). Annual Update Instructions are available by clicking here.
Annual updates are due by August 21, 2024 - school nurses will not be able to dispense medication to students if the Annual Updates are not complete. It is important to update any emails/phone numbers you may have changed through the Annual Updates. If you need any help, please reach out to: SISHelp@wyoarea.org and we will be happy to assist you with your PowerSchool account or in completing your Annual Updates.
The Grade 8-12 iPad Sign Up:
Please sign up for an available date and time for 1:1 iPad pickup (Grades 8 - 12). On your pick-up date please enter by the main entrance by the flagpole.
Please complete your annual updates in PowerSchool before pickup - if you need help we can assist parents during pickup.
User agreement and protection plan (opt in or out) forms are DUE at signup.
Please complete one sign-up per student - QTY 1 slot per student.
There are seven slots every 15 minutes please be on time and prepared on your day to pick up.
Due to summer cleaning, students are NOT permitted beyond the pickup area.
Due to summer projects, pick-up dates and times are limited to the available slots.
Please do not expect to pick up without completing the signup process.
