A: Yes. Just make sure you process the agreements and protection plan via MySchoolBucks.
Q: We are away the day that my middle school student is scheduled to pick up their device, what should we do?
A: Depending upon how many middle school students do not pick up their device on August 30th, your student will then receive their device during the first few days of school. It is best to have them pick up their device on the 30th so that your child is prepared for the first day of school.

A: Yes. You can select a timeframe for a different grade level/team based on how the school will be distributing.
