W. O. Lance Elementary School

This year, devices and chargers will be sent home with students who have a Device Agreement signed by a parent. A Device Agreement form will be sent home with your student today ( August 27th). Please sign and return it by Friday. This Friday, August 29th, devices will be distributed to students who have turned in a signed form.

Important Details:
You do not need to come to the school to pick up the device. The devices will be sent home with your child.
Devices will not be distributed to students in grades PK-1.
While a device is not required, we strongly recommend that your child gets one. Having a device at home will allow your child to complete assignments remotely in the event of an illness, bad weather, or other unforeseen circumstances.
It's better to have a device and not need it than to need a device and not have it!
