Virtual Learners at CES
Students who are virtual learners who need to borrow a device, please fill out the technology form below and pay $40 for insurance. Insurance for families who qualify for free/reduced lunch is $5. Devices can be picked up on Wednesday, August 26th from 1-3 p.m. under the covered porch front entrance at CES.
In Person Learners at CES
Students who are In Person learners who need to borrow a device, should we go to distance learning at some point in the year, please fill out the technology form and pay $40 for insurance. Insurance for families who qualify for free/reduced lunch is $5. Our ISD technology team will prepare those students' assigned devices with the appropriate filters so if/when the student is required to switch to distance learning they can take their device home. We use our devices daily at CES so chrome books for In Person Learners remain at school unless distance learner occurs. If the student is never required to switch to distance learning, the money will not be refunded.

You might qualify for free or reduced lunch! Go online to lunchapp.com to complete the form today. The process is easier, shorter and has a faster response time! We would like to avoid handling paper copies due to the spread of Covid-19. If you do not have access to the Internet, please feel free to turn in a paper copy. We are looking forward to seeing your students smiling faces!
If you didn’t receive an email from your child’s teacher, please email Carol.Ladd@myeagles.org so we can check the email address we have in PowerSchool. The email will include a welcome letter and a recommended supply list. Our first half day of school is Wednesday, August 26th.
