Educational
Technology and Conservation Exchange
Program
We
have been participating in a program that generates
free computer products for our classrooms. This
program is called Educational Technology and
Conservation Exchange Program, otherwise known as
ETCEP™.
Our
school is collecting empty laser and ink jet
printer cartridges, and old cell phones from our
community. Collected cartridges and phones earn
points, which are then exchanged for thousands of
different classroom technology products.
These
products include computer systems, scanners,
modems, printers, software and audiovisual
equipment. So far we have exchanged points for
upgrading our existing computers with USB ports.
Every classroom now has a computer with USB so that
it can connect to scanners, printers, digital
cameras and other peripherals that use
USB.
Your
place of employment can participate in ETCEP
through the Adopt-A-School
Program. Your employer
may pledge their empty laser and ink jet cartridges
to our school and we receive all points generated
by the return of those cartridges. Keep in mind
that this is a free program. ETCEP provides both
the collection kits and prepaid UPS shipping
labels.
All
members of the Piedmont community are encouraged to
help collect empty cartridges. Cartridges can be
sent to school with your child and/or dropped off
at the school office. If you would like to host an
additional drop-off location for community
cartridges, please contact the school.
Your
support of the ETCEP Program will help to teach our
children that recycling makes dollars and sense.
Your support will also provide greatly needed
technology to our classrooms.

Please call or email
Stephanie Griffin with any additional concerns or
questions.
