Sprint Devices are Here!
Sprint cell phones and Wifi Hotspot devices have arrived and will be distributed starting the week of Dec. 9-13. Students can pick up devices after school in the testing center. Students that wish to pick up devices before school or during lunch can sign up in the library. Any student that did not originally sign up for a device can get on a waiting list for extra devices by going to bit.ly/19sprint
The deadline to turn in permission slips is December 20, 2019. Starting in January, unclaimed devices will go to students on the waiting list - regardless of whether a permission slip was returned or not.
