Student Device Program
Every WCPSS student is eligible to receive a WCPSS-issued device to use at school and at home. Students will receive a new student device every 3 or 4 years. To participate in the Student Device Program, students must sign an annual Student Device Program Agreement Form and follow the expectations outlined in the agreement.
Device Distribution Schedule
Students who were unable to pick up devices early will receive a device during the first week of school. The grade level schedule is below. Teachers will send students to the Media Center according to alphabet throughout their grade level day.
