Here's a message from the Technology Department...
Hello PTHS Parents!!
Repaired student computers are now complete. We will be distributing them to your students this Thursday and Friday.
In preparation, we will be sending this year’s device sign-out form home with the students.
Please sign and have your student/s return their form this Thursday or Friday at the latest. We also have a digital copy of the form for you to print and sign if your student misplaces their paper copy.
If your student already has their school issued device, we ask that you please still sign and return the form for the current school year.
We appreciate all your patience and cooperation this year!
