Laptop News & Updates
Dear Stallion Families,
As the much anticipated deployment date of student laptops nears (November 23rd and 24th), there are several ways we can ensure that all parties are prepared. It is a priority at South Pointe that our students are working and learning safely when using their device; and the security of their new HP 840 Elitebooks is a part of this process. Please see below for the expectations and requirements to ensure accountability prior to your student being issued a device.Parent Checklist
- Parents participate in on-line orientation (available by clicking here). *Be sure to complete the google form upon completion so we can document that this step has been completed.
- Parent signature sheet completed and returned. Please ensure you select and sign the front and back of this important document. To preview, click here.
- Technology Protection Plan fees - As the parent orientation explains, this is a yearly $35 insurance fee that covers the the initial cost of one accident (including loss, theft, or damaged). Please Note: An on-line payment option will be available along with a waiver of the insurance fee option, should you be experiencing financial hardship and require support.
- Begin the conversation with your child about expectations of device usage. There are great tips and information that can be found on Common Sense Media and also our Personal Mobile Computing Guide.
Student Orientation
Students will participate in an on-line orientation at school that reviews the following:
1. Expectations and discipline procedures outlined in Rock Hill's Personal Mobile Computing Guide
2. Our AUP (Acceptable Use Policy)
3. Proper steps that must occur in the event that a device is lost, damaged, or stolen.
4. An overview of the HP 840 Elitebook
5. Sign and return the student signature pledge that outlines expectations and accountability when using device.
Thank you for your support!
We appreciate your support in advance, as we know this initiative will require all teachers, parents, and administrators to be engaged and prepared in order to be successful. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding upcoming plans for deployment. While several documents are linked in this flyer; more information will be coming home for you to review and return within the next few weeks.
