Summer Devices
BCS will NOT be automatically sending iPads home over the summer.
- Students will only be allowed to take their iPads home over the summer of 2026 with parental permission and NO OUTSTANDING TECHNOLOGY BILLS.
- Parents, please fill out the the form below only if you WANT your child to bring their school-issued device home over the summer.
- If the form is not filled out by May 8th at 4 pm, your child's iPad will be collected before the end of the school year.
- Reminder - 8th graders will NOT have iPads at the high school, but will be assigned Chromebooks. We highly encourage 8th graders to allow their devices to be collected at the end of the year to avoid delays at the start of high school.
