Middle school families will have a second opportunity to access student Chromebooks, if needed. If families have adequate home devices we ask that you please NOT take a BPS device. All three middle schools will be distributing from HUGHES Education Center (806 N. Washington - parking lot).

Tuesday, 3/24/20            3:00 pm to 5:30 pm

Wednesday, 3/25/20       10:00 am to 2:00 pm

There will be three buses. One per school and they will be signed. Do NOT get out of your vehicle. You will pull up and the Chromebook will be retrieved for you. In order to speed up the process, please know your student’s home base teacher’s name prior to arriving. Students will receive their specifically issued device and will continue to be responsible for it at home. Students do not need to be present to pick up the device.

NOTE: Chromebooks were collected from homerooms, so if the Chromebook was NOT in their homeroom (such as in a locker, etc.), you will NOT be able to access the device at this time. You will need to contact your child’s school directly. Thanks!
