COURSE REQUEST VERIFICATION TIME!
Dear Parents,
We have successfully completed the course selection process for next year! The counselors have completed their classroom visits. They have had time to meet with students, answer questions, and check student’s selections for next year. It’s now time for you to help your student finalize these selections. Pay close attention to the level of your child’s courses. We have created a short video that walks you through how to view the classes your child is signed up for. In order to view next year’s classes, parents must be logged into the STUDENT SKYWARD account. If your child would like to make any changes to their requests for next year, they can do so by completing the add/drop form that is linked in this smore. The deadline to make changes to the 2021-2022 school year is Friday, May 7th, 2021.

GT PROJECT
TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Hello Hawks and/or Parents,
We have recently seen an uptick of preventable damages to our student's Chromebooks. As we approach STAAR testing, we must have working Chromebooks in our student's hands. We need your help in making this happen.
Chargers: Please remember that these are not covered by insurance. We are working with a short supply of chargers due to overwhelming technology needs from this past year. Please make sure your student charges their Chromebook at home every night, and they are leaving their charger at home. The charging-end can be delicate. Placing it in a backpack with books can cause damage that will result in needing to purchase a new one.
Cases: Students MUST use their Klein ISD-issued Chromebook case. The sleeve in their backpack will not provide adequate support to protect it from damages. This is a district-wide policy that students carry their Chromebook in their case when traveling – between classes, on the bus, etc. If your student forgets their case, they will be issued a loaner case until they bring theirs to school.
Keys: Keys can't fall off these Chromebooks. This type of damage will incur a $55 charge. We hate having to charge parents these fees, so please remind your students to be gentle with their borrowed devices.
Repairs: We have a low inventory of Chromebooks available to hand out due to so many in need of repair. If your student is having a problem with their device, remind them to visit the Repair Center (by the library). If they are an online student, the Repair Center is available for curbside assistance on regular school days from 9am – 3pm.
Stickers: Please discourage your student from placing stickers on their devices.
