Garrett Middle School issued the following announcement on Nov. 15.
We are excited to follow up on the school district’s communication about the opportunity your student has to receive a laptop for instructional use at home and at school.
How Do I Opt-In For My Middle School Student?
In order to participate in the program, the enrolling adult must opt in through ParentVue. Directions are provided at the bottom of this post.
- Students will not receive a laptop unless the parent opts-in through ParentVue.
- Students who currently have a CCSD laptop issued to them from last year will not be able to receive a new laptop. The previously issued laptop must be returned before a new laptop can be assigned. Please contact the Front Office if you have any questions.
- Students will be expected to bring their district-issued devices to school every day for use in their content area classes.
- School-issued devices will be connected to the Cobb server, which will allow for better connectivity.
- School-issued devices will come with the required Office 365 software that Cobb students utilize
- School-issued devices will have access to our testing platforms. For example, students will be able to take End of Grade Tests as well benchmarks like MI/RI in their classrooms, increasing flexibility and reducing the loss of instructional time.
- When all students have the same device, teachers can incorporate technology more often since they are assured all students have access.
Information regarding distribution, device set-up, and tech support will be sent home in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please go to ParentVue opt-in so that we can ensure we have the correct number of devices available for students
