Rental iPad Return Information
The following information only applies to students and families who rented an iPad from HSE Schools this year. We ask these families to carefully review the following information.
When and Where Will IPAD Rentals be Collected?
Rental iPads will be collected from students during the school day on May 28th and May 29th.
What Needs to be Returned?
All students will return their rented HSE iPad and cases (Standard Cover or Keyboard Cover).
What About Charging Bricks and Cords?
Rented cords and bricks will not be collected. If you are a new renter, you are welcome to keep the rented cord and brick that were issued to you. You may use the one initially provided to you or you may provide your own.
What Do I Need to do to Prepare the IPAD for Return?
Do not reset the device. Devices must show student identification information when returned for security purposes.
We are changing how we issue iPads this fall. Instead of wiping iPads to give to new students the next school year, we will be boxing all undamaged iPads as is and returning them to the same student in the fall. Considering this information, please take the following steps to ensure your student’s iPad is ready to use this fall.
- Students should wipe down/clean their iPads prior to returning them. Please remove stickers and clean off any food/debris from the case.
- Students should charge their iPads to at least 50% before turning them in.
- Students must remove their passcodes before collection.
- Take a picture of your student’s iPad. Please take a date/time stamped picture of your student’s iPad while the screen is on with the student’s login information visible. This will ensure that your student receives their iPad in the same condition that it was returned in.
- DO NOT erase/reset iPads. Your student will receive their iPad this fall, so iPads should not be erased.

RETURN THE DEVICE

What if my IPAD is Damaged? What are the Fees?
Upon collection, the iPad and case/keyboard will be quarantined for two weeks. A thorough inspection will later assess the working condition of the iPad and case/keyboard and images will be taken to document such damage. Any damage to the iPad and/or case/keyboard will result in fees being assessed to the student’s account. Following an inspection, the iPad will be erased of all content and stored for the summer.

Counselor's Corner
Hi HPE families!
I can't believe we only have a few weeks left in the school year! I wanted to share even more tips on how you can incorporate social emotional learning into your home!
- Use affective statements to promote emotional language. For example, "I am proud to see that you are sharing the toys today." Adults can also help to calm children when we "notice" a smile, new haircut, pair of shoes, or an activity or experience.
- Encourage children to ask questions when they are unclear or need support and teach students the skills required to take personal responsibility.
- Give children options when there are decisions to be made so not to overwhelm them with too many options.
I hope you have an amazing weekend! As always, please reach out if you have any needs!

Harrison Parkway Elementary has a Lost & Found located outside of the Music Room for any lost items. On the last day of each month, we donate all items to charities that serve people in need. Please have your student check it out if they are missing items.
Recess Policy at HSE
Recess will be held outdoors whenever possible. Precipitation, sunshine, cloud cover, wind chill, temperature, etc. are all considered when a decision is made for indoor recess. In general, recess will be held indoors when it is raining, or the temperature/wind chill falls below 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Conversely, if 90 degrees Fahrenheit or higher heat index (relative humidity and temperature) is reached, the school will take special precautions for any outdoor activity and teachers will use extreme caution while monitoring students at recess. In addition, students will be provided ample amounts of water before and during recess; Recesses will be shortened or may be moved indoors at the discretion of the principal or designee; Children will be watched/monitored carefully for necessary action. These temperatures are based on recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The full recess policy can be accessed in the student handbook: https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1691521899/hsek12inus/q7xtlrb1x9zozvwu9p61/ElementaryHandbook-APPROVED-23-24.pdf
