Students should bring their Chromebook to school each day. Students without a working device (including lost or damaged devices) should go to the LMC to get a new device. During the month of September we will work with families and students to correct, or replace, any damaged devices at no cost to families. The fine structure, per the MMSD Family Digital Device Guidelines on page 9, will start October 1, 2021 for all schools and students. 

Students can also fill out this Tech Help Request Google Form for assistance and the East High LMTS (Library Media Technology Specialist) will contact them about their concern.

As a district, we understand that being connected is vital to learning for our MMSD community. As such, the district is working to ensure that students that do not have internet connectivity are able to connect to the internet via hotspots, should the need arise. 

During the initial onset of the pandemic, the district purchased over 1800 hotspots and issued them to our families. Many of these hotspots are currently checked out and in the homes of our families but are not activated. At this time, we are asking families to please complete this following document so that we are able to determine the next steps with hotspots. 

Students who are not virtual learners at this time should return their hotspot to Mrs. Milne-Carroll (East Librarian) in the LMC so that we are able to provide hotspots to those families that are not able to connect to the internet.
