Framed letters were read and presented to each teacher as they listened to the inspirational and thoughtful words from their former students! Pictured at the very top is Ms. Wendy Baker, Chorus Instructor (all grades) with members of the Liberty leadership team.

Students remaining in OCPS schools WILL keep their devices and chargers over the summer. Please put your device and charger in a safe location so that when you return to school you will know where it is and it will still be working. Here are the answers to some questions we have been getting:
I am in 8th grade and I am going to Colonial HS next year. What do I do with my laptop and charger? You will keep your device in a safe place over the summer and you will take it with you to Colonial HS.
I am in 8th grade but I am going to a magnet program within OCPS for high school. What do I do with my laptop and charger? You will keep your laptop in a safe place over the summer and you will take it with you to your new high school.
We are moving to another county (not OCPS) what do I do with my laptop and charger? You will turn your device and charger in. If you are Face to Face you will bring it to the Media Center at the end of the day on Friday, May 21st. If you are LaunchEd, you will bring your device and charger to the school on Wednesday, May 26th.
I owe fines for my laptop/charger, how do I pay? For device charges, please scan this QR:

REMINDER:
Digital Device Damage and Fines
|
|
As a school we are required to assess a fine for every laptop that is not functioning including but not limited to bad battery, bad motherboard and bad bios. Once sent for repair, if it is determined that the issue is a defect and not damage caused by the student the fine will be reversed.
The fine schedule set up by the county is as follows:
- 1st incident - $50.00
- 2nd incident - $100.00
-
3rd incident – Cost of replacement ($395 - $635) or actual cost of repair
|
|
Please ask your child to take care of their device by protecting it from spills, keeping it on a hard surface or in a padded backpack when not in use and by not downloading any extensions (these can and often do contain malware).
Device fines can be paid through SchoolPay at this link:

Having liquids near the computer are a common, but costly mistake. |
