Technology Needs
**Per CMSD, students are now REQUIRED to either turn in or pay for any loaner devices, including computers, hotspots, AND chargers before you can receive your diplomas**
Please take care of the devices, keep them in a safe place and away from food, pets, and small children. They are YOUR responsibility.
If you have any issues with the computer you have, please first contact CMSD's Tech Services department at 216-838--0440.
If your computer or hotspot is missing or lost, please let your teacher and/or paraprofessional know. You will have to file a police report in order to receive a new one. This is district policy. The district is able to remotely turn off the devices to make them unusable. You will have to provide us with a police report number, the last name of the officer that took your report, and the precinct where you filed the report.
CMSD's Project ACT
The Cleveland Metropolitan School District's Project ACT provides direct instructional and support services to children and youth residing in temporary emergency shelters, transitional housing and doubled-up students staying with other families due to loss of housing, economic hardship or similar situations. A holistic and comprehensive approach is used to deliver instructional and support services necessary to facilitate the homeless child's transition into school, and to ensure the child's success and ongoing participation in the educational system.
Support services include everything necessary to accomplish the goal of meeting students' physical, social and emotional needs, and empowering parents to support their children in this endeavor. All appropriate resources from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District are employed to achieve this goal.
