Planned Network Outage: Friday, July 21st, 4pm to 5pm

Will Parents Need to Sign Off Before a School Device is Sent Home with Students?
Answer: Yes
There will be one standardized form used at all schools. It will be available to schools as an electronic form and we’ll produce a pdf copy in case a printed version is needed. Schools are welcome to determine how/when the forms will be collected.
Draft of the form is available at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfFOx0n9pTWLRABYMWzOR6cKzynG0sOdoI4d-xbjFZlKJ-AZg/viewform
