Acorn Students grades 7-12 will not be able to take chrome books home until a device usage agreement form has been signed by a parent or guardian. Blank forms are in the black file cabinet outside the office and can be signed and placed in that cabinet for immediate processing. Those students will receive a chrome book Monday. Blank forms will be sent home Monday in the student packets. Students will be able to get chromebooks after signed forms are returned.
