Attention Parents of 2018-19 8th Grade Students:  A letter was mailed home discussing the HHS 1:1 Program, which your student will now be a participant.  Details about this program will be provided at the 8th Grade Orientation, but we wanted each parent/guardian to know beforehand that this program has a shared cost.  Each parent/guardian is asked to pay either an annual $50 Technology Usage Fee at the start of each school year until graduation, which will total $250, or purchase the Chromebook now at a rate of $200.  If you choose to buy the Chromebook, you would not owe the Technology Usage Fee and should you decide to leave or move from the Hermitage School District, you would keep the Chromebook. If you choose to only pay the Technology Usage Fee each year and you leave the school prior to graduation, you will need to return the Chromebook and the case.  Please note the the Technology Usage Fee for any student who qualifies for the Free or Reduced Lunch Program will be $10 or $20, respectively.

In addition, you can choose to purchase insurance that will extend the warranty beyond the standard 1 year and also provide accidental damage protection.  The cost of the insurance is $60 for 3 years of coverage.

Payments can be made either via the School District Online Store (click on Chromebook 1:1 Program after signing in) or by bringing a check or cash to the 8th Grade Orientation, to be held on Thursday, August 16th.  Please note that there is a transaction fee to use the Online Store.
