This is the time when we go over what the device your students will have for this year, what the expectations are for use and care of that device, provide an opportunity to buy into the Accidental Damage Plan, get a copy of your students' credentials and login instructions, and generally give you an opportunity to ask questions about technology. Please come prepared to pay by check (preferred) or cash if you wish to purchase coverage. For 6-8 grade it is $50 ($25 if qualify for free or reduced meals) per student and for 3-5 grade it is $25 ($15 if qualify for free or reduced meals). If you have kids in both grade groups you can come to either time slot. I promise we'll have an eggcelent time!
