Laptops, Charges, and Library Books
End of Year Highlights
- Library book check-out will end May 17th.
- Books that are not returned by May 24th will be marked lost, and a fine for the replacement of the book will be assessed. Once the book is returned, the fine is automatically cleared.
- Laptops AND chargers will be sent home with students.
- 5th Grade students are expected to take their devices to their designated SMCPS middle school.
- If you are not returning to an SMCPS public school, please make sure your child's teacher is aware so that the laptop and charger can be returned and taken off the child's account.
- Any fines for lost library books or technology should be paid before the last day of school. You can pay any fines online though My School Bucks or by sending cash or a check to school.
The Student Resource Accountability site has much more in-depth information including a guide for what to do if a device has been damaged or lost.
