Please understand if we don't answer your call we may be on the line helping another family but we will be happy to call you back as soon as we can so please feel free to leave us a message. We thank you in advance for your patience.
 

Attached is the Griswold Public School Districts 1:1 policy for your review.

 This must be signed Parent Form and returned the first day your student attends and they will receive their device. If your child borrowed a device when school closed in the spring and has not returned it, then no device will be given.

We look forward to working with you as we embark on this wonderful new opportunity. If you have any questions, please contact one of us at your convenience.
