Laptop Usage Fees and Information
We are fortunate to continue our one-to-one laptop initiative. Students in elementary school will not bring their laptops home in the evenings. The laptop agreement is a form to be filled out through the online student registration. There are no additional forms required. But, because the laptop agreement is part of online student registration, this must be completed before a student can have a laptop assigned.
ALL STUDENTS MUST PAY THE $25.00 LAPTOP RENTAL FEE. Directions to pay the Online Laptop Rental Fee can be found below:
***you can find your student’s ID number in parent portal or we can help you at Open House. ***
We do recommend the optional insurance. Details about the insurance are linked below:
You can pay for insurance and rental fee by check during Open House, or you can SAVE TIME and pay through the following link:

If you have a financial hardship that prevents you from paying the $25 laptop fee, please reach out to Mrs. Atkins for information about a waiver form. As waiver forms are approved, Mrs. Atkins will contact you to make you aware of the approval.
No student will be denied access to technology because of inability to pay. BUT, for a student to have a laptop assigned, the following things must be completed:
-Online Registration (this includes the PCS Acceptable Use Policy)
-$25 laptop fee paid or a Waiver has been approved.
Lunch Menus and School Nutrition Information
A La Carte extras will be available for additional cost. You can pay for your child's lunch by sending in cash or check for your child to give the cafeteria. You can also use the online payment center to add money to your child's account. Lunch money is still added through the K-12 payment center. The online payment center is linked here.
Outside Food and Drink:
Students cannot have soft drinks or food from restaurants (unless it is in an unmarked container). This would apply also if a parent were bringing in food to have lunch with their child in the cafeteria.
PTSO Information
Each class with 100% of parents join will receive an ice cream party!
Second Quarter Fast Passes will be for sale at the Family Literacy Night and the Fall Festival.
