💻 Urgent: Missing Laptops and Chargers
We are currently missing dozens of school-issued chargers, which are vital for student use to complete this year and for use next school year.
How you can help:
-
Check your home: Please ensure your child (Grades 1–6) has returned their school-assigned laptop and charger to school.
-
Return missing items: If you find a charger at home, please send it back with your student immediately.
-
Replacement responsibility: Families are responsible for replacing lost or damaged equipment. If your child’s charger is lost, please visit our Technology Page (woodlawnes.fcps.edu/technology) for specifications and a convenient Amazon purchase link.
We will be contacting families of students with missing equipment over the coming month. Thank you for helping us keep our students powered up and ready to learn!
