Please take a moment to talk with your student about the importance of properly caring for the school-issued equipment. Keeping devices in good condition helps avoid unnecessary charges and ensures they’re ready for learning every day.

*A device could have multiple damaged components such as broken hinges as well as a cracked screen, this would result in a fine of $50. $25 for each damaged component.
