Now that your student has earned the privilege of taking home their laptop, in order to be able to support this take-home opportunity, a few simple steps need to be completed for this to be successful:
- The expectation is that all students bring their computer back to school safely each day charged and ready* for the instructional opportunities that will continue in each of their classes.
- Students must use their computer bag that will enable him or her to transport the machine safely to and from school. The computer should be turned off while in transport.
- Parent and Student Computer Expectations for laptop use can be found on the school website. (next section) A signed copy of this form must be on file.
- Insurance information is also available upon request for those who wish to have protection against theft and vandalism on student computers.
- Students are also responsible for a $35 computer charger.
It is important for parents and students to be aware of the one-to-one technology parent and student expectations in order to understand that the intent of the laptop is to help broaden students’ and their families’ educational opportunities.
*The term ready includes, but is not limited to, all keys and screen intact, laptop is clean and rid of debris, and installed programs on computer are in original state.
