Dear Fox River Grove Families,
As a reminder, all student Chromebooks (CB) and chargers will be collected tomorrow, Friday, May 19th. Any damage incurred during the school year, regardless of if your child takes their CB home, may result in a fine. This includes any stickers your child has placed on their CB.
Families are responsible for paying if there is damage to the screen or a lost AC adapter by Tuesday, May 23rd. The price for any screen repair is a $100 deductible with the district-purchased insurance. A lost AC adapter costs $20 and the price to remove stickers is $10. Families will be charged $250 for a lost device.
Eighth-grade students will not be eligible for eighth-grade activities until all fines are paid. All other students will not receive their 2023-2024 schedule or class assignment until payment is received. Please discuss any concerns with your child and email your child’s building principal with any questions.
Thank you,
Jessica McKenzie, Fox River Grove Middle School Principal
Scott Walton, Algonquin Road School Principal
