Happy New Year, Leopard Families,
We hope that you all enjoyed the winter break. We had an exciting Fall semester and can't wait for all the fun and exciting activities and events for the Spring semester.

STUDENT DEVICES
Happy Fox tickets must be submitted for ALL issues related to student devices..
The ticket must be submitted using the student's user name and password.
To check the status of a ticket, the student/parent can log-in to Happy Fox using the student’s credentials.
When submitting tickets, be sure to state how, when and where the damage took place
(such as, “I accidentally dropped it on the floor when taking it out of my backpack in class” or “I accidentally spilled water when doing my homework” or “My baby sister threw a toy at the screen and cracked it” or “I pressed the “J key too hard and now my keyboard keeps getting stuck on the letter “J:”.)
Without details such as these, the Happy Fox ticket will be placed on hold until it is updated with additional details and information. Replacement devices cannot be given to students if there is a hold on the ticket or if it is in “EDIT” status.
Teachers will be notified when devices are ready for pick-up, at which time the student will need to swap the replacement with the old/damaged device.
