If you will be attending a different Bend-La Pine Schools program or school next year, keep the iPad you have and take it with you to your new site in September.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes plans change during the summer. If you find yourself moving out of the area or leaving the district during the summer and need to return your iPad, please drop it off Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon at the Education Center located at 520 Wall Street, Bend.\u00a0Please remember to also return your charging brick and cord at this time. The fee for a missing cord is $5 and a missing charging brick is $20.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transportation Survey for 2021-2022 School Year:<\/strong> The district is currently planning transportation services for students for Fall of 2021.
