An important year-end reminder from the HCPS Department of Technology
HCPS' 50,000+ student devices (iPads for pre-K and kindergarten, Chromebooks for grades 1-5 and laptops for grades 6-12) must be turned in before the end of the school year so they can be updated and repaired during the summer.
HCPS-approved summer school is the exception. Students participating in any HCPS-related summer program will keep their device at the end of school and turn it in the last week of their summer course.
Fees aren’t fun! As detailed in the “Device Acknowledgement Form” signed by students and parents or guardians at the start of the school year, families will be charged a fee or related repair or replacement costs if:
- A student loses or damages their assigned device or doesn’t return it.
- A student loses or damages their charger or returns a different charger than the one they were assigned at the start of the school year.
- A student intentionally damages their assigned HCPS device. In addition to a repair or replacement fee, this will be handled as a disciplinary matter per the Student Code of Conduct.
