In an effort to increase instructional time and data security, student passwords have been changed since last year. Students will be given their new password on Monday, August 5th by their advisement teacher. These passwords should not be shared with anyone and will be used for the entire year.

Students will receive Chromebooks during the first full week of school. To get a device, parents need to complete a device loan form, which can be accessed either through the PowerSchool Parent Portal or by getting a hard copy from the Learning Commons. Instructions for completing the form online are below. It’s also recommended that families purchase the Family Protection Plan via School Cash Online. Please contact the Islands High School Learning Commons with any questions at 912-395-2000.
