700 Series Chromebooks being Retired
The Acer Chromebook 700 series is being collected. If your child has a chromebook of this series that was borrowed from the school district, that chromebook will need to be returned to TPES. If you still want a chromebook for home use, you will need to complete a new request form. Please contact your child's teacher for help with returning a chromebook or getting a new chromebook. All 700 series chromebooks will stop working on December 4, 2024.
In Recent News...
Children with autism have wandered away from home, parents/guardians and school. This has also happened at TPES. Even with close supervision, some children are able to slip away from caregivers quickly. If a child with autism wanders away from you or your family and you can't find them, please call 911 immediately. Children with autism are often drawn to bodies of water which can be very dangerous. Please see the attached flyer for more information from the Maryland Autism Coalition.
