Lost Student Device and Charger Restoration

The Mount Vernon School District offers a digital device to all students to support learning in the classroom and at home.   There is no cost to receive a device or to repair a damaged device.  However, If the device or charger is lost, the district is asking for families to contribute a fee towards financial restoration.

Families that have lost or failed to return equipment or power chargers upon request may have received a bill.  If the equipment has been located, students should notify school staff.  If the equipment has been stolen, a police report is needed.  Once verified, the charges will be waived.
