End of the Year Laptop Return

On or before Friday, June 16, each classroom will return all technology equipment. Students who do not turn in their equipment will be charged $472 for a laptops/iPad and $23 for a charger. Please check to make sure that chargers being returned are FCPS issued as we have received various chargers from other manufacturers in the past.
The only exceptions are for students enrolled in a summer school program/ESY who need their laptop to participate. If your child is identified for this, his/her laptop and charger will be sent home on the last day of school. Please direct any questions you have about the laptop return process to your child’s classroom teacher, including inquiries about financial replacement for missing laptops or chargers.
If for any reason you need to return your child’s equipment prior to the last day of school, please let your child’s teacher know.
