Please note that high-school freshmen with last names beginning with the letters A to L will be served from 8 a.m. to noon. Those whose last name starts with the letters M to Z will be served from 1 to 5 p.m. At the middle schools, students will be served on the following schedule: sixth-grade from 8 to 11 a.m.; seventh grade from noon to 2:30 p.m.; and eighth-grade from 2:30 to 5 p.m.
To receive a laptop on these days, students must be already registered for the 2017-18 school year and a Responsible Use Agreement must be signed by a parent or guardian and be on file. You may register your child online by clicking here.
Students are asked to bring their school ID; or if no school ID is issued at their campus, they're asked to bring their EPISD username and password.
Students who are new to EPISD will not receive their laptops on these dates.
They will receive them on the first day of school. While the District will distribute laptops to all of the qualified students, the availability of devices may vary each day. Laptops will be distributed daily on a first-come, first-served basis. Students who do not receive a laptop on these dates will be provided one by the start of the school year.
