Student Devices: To help remove technology barriers and advance equitable student learning outcomes, HCPSS has moved to a 1:1 student-to-device ratio. All students have or will be provided with a Chromebook. These devices are required for all county and state testing and assessments.

If a student has not been issued a HCPSS device, they will report to the Media Center to be assigned a device on Monday, August 29.

Cell Phones:  Upon arrival at school, students must keep their cell phones ‘OFF and AWAY’ in their locker or backpack. Please review HCPSS Policy 8080 with your student. All students must abide by Board of Education Policy 8080 Responsible Use of Technology, Digital Tools, and Social Media, and specifically Standard E. Student Use-Technology, which states that “HCPSS permits students to bring personal technology devices to school, according to the following rules:

  • Middle Schools – Students:

    • Students will not use personal technology devices during non-instructional time, to include but not limited to transition between classes, lunch, recess, or in bathrooms.

A school administrator may, on occasion, authorize the use of personal technology devices for special events and/or for positive behavioral supports and interventions.
