Participation Options:
Option 1
Lease an Apple MacBook Air M2 or M4 computer through the school’s four-year lease program. The school's four-year payment program is a total cost of $974.69 for the M2 and $1,706.19 for the M4. Initial payments ($352.93 for the M2 option or $542.54 for the M4 option) are due by May 17, 2025. If a student leases a laptop, they will have access to it as if it were their own and they could take it home each day, but the school will be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of the device. In addition, the purchase price includes 4 years of accidental damage protection. All service will be directed through the HS Tech Center and loaners will be provided to students while leased computers are being serviced. The laptop will come pre-loaded with a variety of software titles that students will use in their classes. At the end of four years, parents will have the choice of turning the laptop back into the school or buying out the lease for a fee of $1.00 plus tax. Tax which will equal 6.25% of the purchase amount that will be paid annually over 4 years.
Option 2
BYOD -Bring your own laptop to school with you. We know from our recent survey that some students already have their own laptops. If a student or parent feels more comfortable providing their own laptop, they can do this in lieu of leasing from the school. A list of the types of software that students will need if they bring their own device can be found on the 1-1 website listed below. Please be aware, however, that if students bring their own laptops, classroom teachers and technology personnel may not be able to help them troubleshoot issues that occur, so students should feel very comfortable using their own devices.
Option 3
Student Use – If a student does not lease a laptop from the district or bring their own, we will provide laptops for those students to use during the day in classes and to use for homework outside of school. Students will be responsible for keeping these devices safe and in good working order. These devices will be collected during the summers for maintenance and additional repairs.
