Chromebooks!

All 5^th grade students will be required to turn in their WCPSS Chromebook and charger at the end of the school year. If going to a WCPSS middle school, they will receive a new device upon their start of school. These devices will be collected on Tuesday, May 20th. If your child is in 3^rd or 4^th grade and does not plan to return to a WCPSS school for the 2025-2026 school year, they should plan to turn in their device as well. Third and fourth grade students transferring to another WCPSS school who have a device need to take that device and charger with them to their new school.
