DEVICE PICKUP! 

It is our goal to provide a 1 to 1 device, so that each student receives their own ASD loaner device and one hotspot per family to stay educationally engaged.

The pickup location will be at the main entrance on 17^th street from 8am to 3pm on scheduled school days. A parent or guardian listed in sapphire, with ID is required to borrow the device. Students entering 9th grade must return devices to their middle school before coming to Allen.
