Evaluate Your Devices for Replacement & Upgrades
For students in first grade through high school, one-to-one computing is essential to daily instruction at The Summit. The school has a few laptops on-hand for students to borrow when necessary, but not on a daily basis. As such, please discuss with your child the functionality of his or her computing device and accessories. Is the device functioning properly? Are all accessories (headphones, chargers, etc.) working efficiently? What are your at home guidelines for caring for devices (nightly or weekly charging for school use, no food or drink while in use, etc.)? With variables in student responsibility and everyday wear and tear, at times, devices and accessories are in need of replacement. Personal computing devices and accessories are critical to The Summit's learning environment. We encourage you to evaluate your child's school related devices and consider replacements or upgrades as necessary.
