Technology Supports

  New Process for Lost, Stolen and Damaged Student Chromebooks Families will be charged for any devices that are lost, stolen or damaged while in their care. If devices are lost, stolen or damaged during school hours and in the school building, school administrators will conduct an investigation to determine if the incident was the result of neglect on the part of the assigned student. A chart containing Chromebook device issues and their associated costs can be found online should a Chromebook become stolen/lost or damaged. Learn more about this process on the Technology Resources community.    Account Information

The email contains personalized and important information regarding new students’ technology accounts. If you have a child new to HCPSS and do not receive the email and/or cannot locate the email in the junk/spam folder of the email account you used during registration, you can use the Forgot Password or Username button on the hcpss.me student landing page to retrieve both your child’s username and password.
