Grade 8 iPad and BHS Laptop Info

The BMS Tech Department will be collecting iPads from 8th graders during the last week of school.

In-person students' iPads will be collected between June 14th and June 16th. The day your child attends the field trip is the day we will be collecting the iPads from them. Please make sure they bring in their iPads to school June 14th to June 16th.

• 8 Balch - Monday 6/14
• 8 Cabot - Tuesday 6/15
• 8 Hale - Wednesday 6/16
  

RLA students will turn in their devices before their graduation ceremony. The Tech Department will have a table in the cafeteria.

Please note, if the devices are returned totaled with a cracked screen or water damage etc. there will be a $50.00 fee. The cost to replace an iPad is $300.00 but we charge families $50.00. You will receive an email from the BMS Tech Center letting you know how to make the payment. Also, if the fee is not paid your child will not be able to pick up a leased or loaner laptop at BHS until all obligations have been completed from the middle school. 

If you have any questions, please call the BMS Tech Center at 978-921-6103 ext. 24160 or ext. 24170. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
