Don't Forget to Return Your MacBooks!
Seniors and any students leaving the district can turn in the NPS assigned device at any of the following dates and times:
- Monday, May 24 - Friday, May 28 in the NNHS technology office from 8 AM - 4 PM.
- Monday, May 24 - Thursday, May 27 curbside pickup in front of NNHS from 11 AM - 1 PM.
If none of these times work, students can make arrangements to bring items in at another time.
If you are going to be needing the NPS assigned device after the drop off date for further classes with Norman Public Schools please fill out this form: Late turn-in form
Any laptops not turned in by 4 pm on May 28th and not confirmed as part of the Late Turn-In form may be disabled.
As you prepare to return the NPS assigned Macbook, there may be items in Drive and Gmail that need to be retained. Please plan on copying these items out of email and/or Drive, as student accounts are scheduled to be inactivated thirty (30) days after students leave the district. Google has an app designed for this at takeout.google.com. If you need assistance with this, please contact the NNHS helpdesk by email at north-itech-help@norman.k12.ok.us
If there is a case on the assigned Macbook and that needs to be kept please remove it before turning it in; if you don't want the case we will remove it and reuse it for students who can’t buy themselves a case.
If you are interested in purchasing a Macbook like the one students have used this year (13” Macbook Air, 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 128GB Storage, 8 MB Ram) NPS has worked with our partners at Apple to get educational pricing for NPS families for comparable Macbooks. Use this link https://www.apple.com/us-hed/shop for that option. The currently assigned MacBooks are not available for purchase.
IMPORTANT: Final Transcripts and Diploma Packets
- The Final Transcript Request form is now available through the link provided in Dr. Gray’s newsletter and under the graduation tab on North’s webpage. Every student must complete this form in order for your final transcript to be sent to a college or university.
- You may also request to have your diploma packet mailed through the above form. There is a $2 charge for mailing which must be paid in the registrar’s office(or via mail) by May 28th.
- Final Transcripts and Diploma packets will be available for pick up starting June 25th. *Please note when a student becomes 18 years of age, the student becomes the custodian of his/her own records.
