Waverly Elementary School Student Collection/Drop off of Materials

On Monday, August 31st from 12-3:30pm, families will use the schedule below to collect their school supplies & materials from last year and to drop off any media books, teacher owned classroom books, and instruments (if needed.) If you are not returning to Waverly next year, you will need to return these items at this time. Students who received HCPSS Chromebooks in the Spring will keep their devices and will not be issued another device.

*Please separate media books from teacher-owned classroom books in different bags

Additionally, during this collection/drop off, families will receive their chromebooks and HCPSS curricular materials for all students in grades PreK-5.

If you have siblings across grade levels, come to pick up all your family's materials during your youngest child's grade level pick up/drop off time. If you cannot come during your designated time, the flexible collection/drop off time is 3:30-4pm. An additional collection time will be shared with the community in the coming days if your family has an extenuating circumstance and cannot make the August 31st drop off/pick up.

What safety precautions are in place to protect families and staff during drop-off/pickup?

During the drop-off/pick up process, it is critical that students and families wear masks and remain in their cars. Families will not have access to the building during the exchange. We ask that you follow the directions of our staff members to ensure everyone's safety. We appreciate your patience during this process.

What should I do to prepare for the pick up/drop off?  

• Please write your child/children’s first and last name (no nicknames) and grade level on a sheet of paper to make distribution easier.
• Place all materials to be returned to Waverly in labeled bags with your child’s first and last name (the bag will not be returned to you.) Separate media books from teacher owned classroom books
• Remember to wear your mask

Please read below for more detailed information regarding chromebooks, curricular materials, and school supply lists for virtual learning.

Every Elementary Student will be provided with a HCPSS Device

It is important for all elementary school students to use the HCPSS issued device for instructional needs and technical support. This will ensure that all students have up-to-date technology that has minimum system level requirements to run instructional applications and district approved tools. Additionally: 

• With an HCPSS device, the school system can install software to give teachers more control and enable the teacher to provide more robust and consistent instruction experience to all students. With this software, teachers can push content to students’ Chromebooks, lock browsers to a specific website, push links to students, allow students to reach out to the teacher discreetly, etc. Teachers only have access to manage the devices of students during scheduled class time. After scheduled class time is over, the teacher would not be able to use the management tools to control students’ devices. 
• The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was enacted by Congress in 2000 to address concerns about children’s access to obscene or harmful content over the Internet. HCPSS can ensure that all the devices are CIPA content filtered. This will help protect students and will help them stay focused on instructional content. 
• Staff will be able to better support students who have technology questions or issues when accessing online learning resources. HCPSS staff cannot support personal devices. 

After picking up the Chromebook, families can use the directions for connecting a Chromebook to Wi-Fi to connect it to their home network. Upon taking possession of an HCPSS-owned Chromebook, families agree to these HCPSS Student Mobile Technology Duties and Obligations.
