ALL students' laptops should have been turned in the last three days of school. The only exception is for those students who checked in with their counselors for Summer FLVS courses or Summer testing.
If a student is coming to West Orange High School for Summer school, they should have turned in their laptop. When they report for Summer school they will be issued a Summer laptop.
Phone calls will be made to those students who have not turned in their laptops followed up with a letter requesting them to be returned. Laptops, chargers and covers not turned in may be brought to the front office. Student name and student number MUST be placed on the items returned to get credit. Please call MS. Wallner with any questions.
VOLUNTEER hours for students - hours are available in the library if students need volunteer hours. Please email shirley.wallner@ocps.net to set up a date and time.
