Student Laptop Replacement Project 

First, fifth, and ninth graders district-wide will receive new laptops each fall.  Funding is provided by the voter-approved levy of 2022 intended to provide students with laptops while enrolled in the district.

Students will turn in their current computers and power cords and receive their new laptops and power cord the same day. 

Students should keep their headsets.
