Grades 9-11
Students NOT returning to Kickapoo or SPS next year: If you will NOT be returning to SPS (seated or virtual) in the fall AND are not taking an Explore class this summer, you should return your device once all work and finals are completed.
Grades 9-11
Students in grades 9 through 11 should keep their Chromebooks for the summer. Students are expected to return with the same Chromebook in August. Failure to do so may result in a fine.
Hotspots
Students not taking an online Launch course must return their hotspot to the school library before May 22nd.
To pick up your book you must have your school ID. You may pick up books for siblings but not friends. If your name is not on the sales list, you will need to provide some type of proof of purchase. Receipt, bank statement deduction, copy of check, etc.
We have a limited number of books for sale and once they are gone they are gone. We will not hold books. $60 cash or check.
Online students and early grads may pick up their preordered books in the main office with Ms. Bricker.
