As the school year draws to a close, we are preparing for laptop and charger collection. Please review the details below, and thank you in advance for discussing the information with your student. This information will be shared with students through our morning announcements.

Pocahontas Laptop and Charger Collection

  • Laptop and Charger collection will occur on Thursday and Friday, May 22nd and 23rd.

  • Thursday's collection will focus on 6th grade AND any student attending the Chorus field trip on Friday. We may be able to begin 7th grade collection, if time allows.

  • Students taking 6th and/or 8th block final exams on Thursday AND going on the field trip on Friday must turn in their computer at the completion of their last final exam.

  • Friday, we will collect the remaining 7th and 8th-grade computers/chargers.

  • Please have your student charge their computer before collection. 

  • When students go through the collection process, the machine is turned on to check for any issues that may be repaired over the summer. 

  • Students enrolled in HCPS summer programs or classes will receive stickers indicating their need to keep their computers/chargers. 

  • If your student is NOT enrolled in a summer program and needs to keep their computer longer than next Thursday/Friday, please contact their grade level school counselor/admin.

  • As students move through the collection process, their computer and charger will be scanned. If they turn in a device that is not assigned to them, they will be informed. 

  • After collection is complete, we will contact parents/guardians of students who have not submitted their charger and/or computer.

  • We appreciate everyone's patience during device collection. Our staff will take their time to make sure items are carefully reviewed and scanned, ensuring our information is thorough and accurate.

Thank you for your support!
