UPDATE: TWO ADDITIONAL DATES OFFERED

 

The district is offering two additional distribution dates for families that still need to pick up student devices:

Wednesday, Aug. 25 from 5-8pm  - All Grades - Highlands High School (Gym Entrance)

 

Please contact your child's school if you have specific, individual questions or circumstances regarding device pickup. 

 


Beginning August 17, 2021, device distribution will take place daily within the district. 

 

Parents & students will have an opportunity to purchase a Device Protection Plan at the time of pickup.  Cost of the plan this year is $30.00; payable in cash/check to the district at time of device pickup.

 

The Device Protection Plan will cover all accidental damage to the student device for the duration of the 2021-2022 school year, with unlimited incidents.  Intentional damage, lost, or stolen devices are not covered by this plan.  Additional plan details are listed in the document below.
