If for whatever reason your child was not issued a Chromebook last year, please contact the school (502 255 7781) so we can prepare a device for your child.

Good afternoon! Chromebook pickup for Jr/Sr High students begins this week! Online Student Registration must be completed prior to issuing student devices.

There is a $75 technology fee for Jr/Sr High students utilizing a school device. Fees will be collected at time of pick-up. Pick-up and registration help will be held between the hours of 10am and 6pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Parents of current-year Juniors and Seniors will register and/or pick up Chromebooks, and submit technology fee payments on Wednesday, August 19th. Parents of current-year Freshmen and Sophomores will complete the process on Thursday, August 20th. Parents of current-year 7th and 8th grade students will complete the process on Friday, August 21st. If your family has students in multiple grade levels, please contact the school for streamlined procedures, requiring only one trip to the school. The pickup process will be conducted as a drive-thru service, beginning at the Mount Pleasant entrance, circling the back of the building and around to the main entrance. If online registration needs to be completed, please park behind the gym and enter through the gym lobby. Masks are required to enter the building. Please be patient as capacity guidelines must be followed. Once registration is complete, a form will be provided to give to the technology coordinator to receive student devices. Once you have registered, and have been provided a form, please re-join the drive-through line and proceed to the main entrance. Additional information pertaining to student orientation will be provided later this week, so please stay tuned. Our faculty and staff are disappointed that we are unable to begin school with in-person learning, however we are committed to providing all students with a positive virtual-learning experience.
