• Technology Device Return

    All district devices need to be reimaged before the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year. Schools are collecting student devices and hotspots this week from students who are NOT participating in District-led summer programming (ex. Summer Boost, CCS/Extended School Year (ESY) and Credit Recovery, etc.).

    All seniors participating in commencement and receiving their diploma this weekend must return their device by Friday, June 11.

    Please work with your students to back-up personal and work documents before turning in their device. Reimaging will delete all data on the devices. District devices not returned for reimaging and an update will not work for the 2021-2022 school year.

    If you cannot drop off your child's device at school, please use a Technology Drop-off Center. Centers will be open on June 12, 13, 16, 17, 18 from 8:00 AM-2:00 PM at the following locations:

    Pittsburgh Carrick High School
    125 Parkfield Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15210
