Laptop Collection

We will begin collecting all school-issued laptops on Monday, June 6, 2022.  Please help ensure that you child brings their laptop AND power supply to school on this day. Beginning this day students will no longer bring the devices home for the year. We also ask that the charger be returned in a zip lock bag.  If you do not have a zip lock bag one will be provided.

Please do not remove the ID cards from the laptop.  We will need to scan the ID cards when we check them in.   If you child’s ID card is missing, please notify your child’s teacher or have your child notify their teacher.  

For your reference, the cost to replace the devices if they are not returned at the end of the school year are:

  • Laptop replacement ($481.00) Price includes 4 year accidental damage protection.
  • Power adapter replacement ($23.00)
