Additional information for Device Return

• The Chromebook should have ALL personalized items REMOVED. This includes stickers on the Chromebook or Chromebook case. This also includes any photos or any other item adhered to/or slipped beneath the case. DO NOT USE FINGERNAIL POLISH REMOVER(ACETONE) or other harsh chemicals on the devices or cases.
  
  
• Repairable damage is covered by a protection plan on student devices. Students will be using the same Chromebook next school year.  It is to the student's advantage to report issues with their Chromebooks now so they can be ready for the next school year.
  
  
• At the beginning of the year, students were provided a Chromebook, charger, and case. We expect each student to return all these items in working order on May 25th. Students will be responsible for replacing lost devices, cases, chargers, and devices damaged beyond repair, as determined by the Technology Director.
  
  
• The cost of replacement items is below. 
• $300.00 Chromebook replacement
• $30.00 Charger replacement
• $21.00 Case replacement
  
  
• Chargers and Cases can be purchased at the online Bison Store under Technology Supplies.

DCR1 Revises Covid 19 Safety Protocol
After reviewing the low Dallas County Covid count and continuing to have zero Covid positives among the students and staff, DCR1 will be revising the Covid 19 safety protocol by removing the requirement for students to wear masks on buses and during passing times, as well as for staff members. This will begin tomorrow, Tuesday, April 20. The district will still encourage good hand washing protocol and will continue to monitor Covid positive numbers in the county and school district and update these protocols if needed. 

Students Will Return to In-Person Classes Five Days Per Week
As the county and school district Covid-19 positive cases remain very low, the school district will return to in-person classes on Wednesdays after Easter break, beginning Wednesday, April 7, 2021. The district will continue in-person classes five days per week through the end of the school year.

DCR1 Masking Requirements
As the count of positive Covid cases in Dallas County and DCR1 have decreased, the school district would like to loosen its masking requirements for students. The staff will continue to wear face coverings. Students will wear face covering on buses, during passing times in hall ways, and other times outside of the classroom when they are unable to social distance. This will begin when students and staff return from Spring Break, Monday, March 22, 2021. Have a good evening from the home of the Bison Pride.
