Exciting News For All Current 5th Through 11th-Grade Students
-
We are thrilled to announce that this year, we're expanding our Chromebook loan program. What's even more exciting is that our device insurance will now include coverage during the summer break. This is a significant change that we believe will greatly benefit our students.
By extending our program and insurance coverage to the summer months, we aim to ensure that learning can continue throughout the entire year. We understand the importance of technology in today's learning environment, and we want to make sure that all of our students have equitable access to these resources.
We believe this change will help students develop positive technological habits all year. By having access to their Chromebooks throughout the summer, students can continue to explore, learn, and grow in a digital environment.
We are excited about this expansion and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our students' learning experiences.
