Technology and Your Student

Students in today's world need opportunities to utilize technology to communicate, collaborate, create, and think critically.

Students in grades K-12 have access to a wide variety of technology tools. Generally speaking, the following devices are utilized at different grade levels:

  • Kindergarten-2nd Grade: Touch Screen Chromebooks that will stay at school
  • Grades 3-12: One-to-One Chromebooks to take home and bring to school each day

Additionally, most schools have computer labs with desktop computers or mobile labs with laptops, plus a limited number of iPads to further enhance technology-integrated instruction. Check with your student's building to find out more about the technology provided.

One-to-One Device Agreement and Program

The district uses an opt-out agreement for one-to-one take-home devices. At this time, if you do not want to use the District Chromebook at home, you can “opt out” and return the Chromebook to your child’s school. A Chromebook will be provided for school use as needed. If you wish to “opt-out” and return your student’s Chromebook, please complete the device “opt-out” form and then return the District Chromebook to your child’s school. If you wish to continue to use the Chromebook, you do not need to do anything. We will consider your continued use of the Device to be your agreement to the terms. Please do not hesitate to contact technology services or your child's school if you have any questions or concerns regarding this process.
