ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Students are responsible for damage to iPads at home and at school.

Parents /Legal guardian must sign the HCS iPad

agreement form before being issued a device. All iPad serial numbers are registered with Apple and if

device is reported stolen, it will be deacBvated. Do not call Apple if you need tech support, contact

your school.

Every student has an HCS Gmail account which allows them to send emails and use features associated with Google Drive

This email account provides them the

opportunity to communicate and collaborate with teachers and peers.

What can I do as a parent to help my child embrace these opportuni.es? Encourage your child to frequently login to

Gmail. Review our online Google for EducaBon

class to help your child master using Google Docs and Slides as homework and project resources.
