Most of the more than 13,000 student technology devices that have been requested have been delivered to students through device distribution locations or by FedEx delivery. We expect devices that were requested before April 10 should have been delivered by the end of the day Tuesday, April 21. Devices that were requested after April 10 will be packaged and shipped as soon as possible.  Teachers are aware that not all students may have immediate access to a device and will accommodate those students as necessary.

Please complete THIS SURVEY today (April 24th) to indicate that you did or did not receive the device you requested.

Families who did not initially request to borrow a device, or indicated they did not need one but now see the need for one, can request a device via HCPSS Connect. Directions on requesting a device can be found on the HCPSS website.
