This deposit will be refundable at the conclusion of the school year or may be rolled forward to the next school year if your child will continue to be a student at Hudson High School. In the event there is any damage to the computer, the deposit will be forfeited. A $50 deposit must be maintained each year. Please remember that students will not be permitted to take computers home until the deposit is paid and that waivers are not available for this deposit.  Each computer will require a refundable deposit.  

At the end of the year, computers will be collected, cleaned, and assessed for damage.  Students will be billed for damage to their laptop computer.
