Based on staff and parent input received through the recent laptop survey – as well as other feedback and data – the district has revised its policy regarding the laptop program to better accommodate the diverse preferences for laptop access expressed by stakeholders. Specifically, the new policy is designed to allow families to choose between 1) having their student(s) check out a laptop for full 24/7 access with an agreement to all fees and conditions set by the district and/or school, or 2) to use school-housed laptops when teachers determine they are needed for classroom activities, plus agreeing to provide sufficient access to home technology for completion of school assignments. Laptops that are not checked out to students in option 1 will be deployed out to classrooms once we have determined what the remaining numbers are. It is important to note that we will not be checking out individual laptops on an as needed basis; students will either have them for 24/7 checkout, or they will have some level of access through their classrooms. All families should complete the Family Options for School Laptops – 2009-2010 document and return to SC. These should be returned either during the designated laptop pick-up times, or with the rest of your family information at the start of the school year. Dates and Times The Shorecrest High School laptop rollout will occur on August 24, 25, and 26 (8:30-11:30, 1:00-4:00), in the Shorecrest library.

Students may pick up laptops for themselves and their siblings only. Laptops will not be handed out to anyone under the age of 18 who does not have a carrying case unless a parent is there to accept it. What to bring To receive a laptop you must bring: • A receipt showing you have paid $80 for insurance. A signed copy of the 2009-2010 Addendum to Laptop Agreement, and Family Options for School Laptops – 2009-2010 document • Your picture ID • Your laptop case (Incoming 9th graders will be able to use their existing case. Donations of laptop cases by last year’s senior class are welcome!) Payment Payment can be made by cash, check or money order (made out to the Shoreline School District) at the Shorecrest main office between 9:00 AM - noon and 1:00 - 3:00 PM, starting August 10. We encourage you to get in early before the actual rollout dates and pay your laptop fees, yearbook purchase, ASB card, etc. We can’t process credit card payments at the SC main office, but you can pay your laptop fees by credit card in the Accounting office at the Shoreline Center, or online at https://secureweb.shorelineschools.org/TouchBase/login-form.aspx. Scholarship If the insurance cost is an extreme financial hardship for your family, you may apply for one of a very limited number of scholarships or arrange for a monthly payment schedule. We will have a staff member present during laptop distribution to handle scholarship requests and payment plans. New students New students will also get their laptops during TAP or lunch once the school year has begun after first paying fees and filling out and signing the original CLICK-IT laptop agreement form, in addition to the addendum. Minors without laptop cases We will not hand out a laptop to any minor student who does not have a case. We will hand this to a guardian adult. |
