Students 6th-11th grade have the option to turn in their devices at the end of the school year if parents or students do not want to be responsible for them over summer time. Devices can be returned to the Media Center at their building. Devices will be returned the first week of school in the fall.

If you and your student opt to take the device home, please consider purchasing the device coverage available on or webstore to help prevent charges for summer time accidents!
