Students, Parents and Guardians,
Throughout the week of August 9th, the Pocahontas High School technology department will be issuing student chromebooks for sophomores, juniors and seniors. Students should report to Mr. Adam Hand's office in the PHS Business Education building during their scheduled time to check out a chromebook. A chromebook policy form will need to be signed by each student and parent before or at pickup. These forms can be found digitally on the Pocahontas School District website: www.pocahontaspsd.com or picked up in the high school office.
Students have been scheduled times alphabetically by their last name and grade level to ensure social distancing and an efficient checkout process. If students are not able to attend during their allotted time, Thursday, August 12th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. will be the make-up day. Any student unable to pick up their chromebook during the week can check out a device on the first day of school.
Sincerely,
Craig Green
Pocahontas High School Principal
