Upper Sandusky High School

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Submit your Free/Reduced Price Meal Application today! Currently 106 students still need their parents to submit an application for the 2023-24 school year in order to continue to receive free meals after October 6, 2023. That means there is only 2 weeks left before those students will be charged full price for school meals. Unfortunately those charges will not be reversed if the family submits an application that is approved after October 6.

News from our school nurse!!

In a continuation of last year all K- 11th grade students will be keeping their Chromebooks over the summer. An email will be going out to your students today as well letting them know the following: All K-11th grade students will take their Chromebook and power adapter HOME for the summer. This way they will have their assigned Chromebook in their possession at the start of the year since they will keep the same Chromebook. We ask the student/parent/guardian to please charge their Chromebook over the summer at a minimum of 1 hour per week. It does not need to stay plugged in 24/7, for those concerned about batteries overheating. All Chromebooks will be disabled over the summer, except for those in a summer classes/summer school scenario. This means when a student opens their Chromebook it will not check-in and allow a login. I will "enable" Chromebooks Mon., August 14th so students can make sure their Chromebook boots up and the student can log in. Current seniors turn their Chromebooks in on May 15th to the Tech Office unless they have need of them for makeup work. In which case they would turn them in as soon as that work is finished. Here a detailed Google Doc with this process: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zPMfKxn-mUWWSLqrJZgZsmJbaeKprWON_gC-Dy1GOzA/edit?usp=sharing Thank you.
