Roland Middle School will begin issuing Chromebooks to our "in person" students starting Wednesday, Sept 2. Each student has been given a technology application. This application along with a $25 fee needs to be returned to the middle school office as soon as possible. Upon the return of the application and the fee, the student will be issued a Chromebook that they will be able to keep until the end of the school year. We would like to get this taken care of as soon as possible so that the students can access their assignments during our "virtual days" or at any other time that they may need to. If your student has their own device, we highly encourage them to bring it to school daily. If you have any questions, please call the middle school office, and we will assist you.
