Overview

• During hybrid instruction, students are encouraged to bring into school the devices they used for remote / virtual instruction. The device type should be a Windows laptop, Apple laptop, Chromebook, Android Tablet, or Apple iPad.
• If a student is participating in a Hybrid schedule and has borrowed a Chromebook from the district, the student should bring the device to school during their in-person day.
• Parents are asked to walk students through how they connect their personal devices to a wireless network. This will allow students to become acclimated to connecting to the district wireless network.
• If the student does not have a device that they can bring into school, the district will assign a Chromebook to the student.
