To complete a student device audit for WCPSS, please help us with the following details: The device audit will be conducted starting on Monday, April 4th throughout each morning. We will start with K-2 and work up to 3-5 classrooms.  Remind students that all devices should be on campus each day until the audit is completed.  Store all devices in the carts for this week as much as possible.   Roll device carts near the doorway for quick access so as not to disturb your classroom.  All devices with damage will be given a help desk request for repair during this time.  This audit will help us prepare for the needs of upcoming EOG testing as well as understand our needs for next year.   Thank you for your support! Let Elizabeth and I know if you have any questions.  ~Star

Currently, there is little difference between the categories. Anyone can check out a device from any category.    A  few are currently designated as Staff and checked out to those using them previously. ...
