Technology for Remote Learning
Boone will be lending Chromebooks and ipads to families who are in need of devices in order for students to engage in remote learning online. So far we have loaned over 300 tech devices to Boone families.
For your safety and the safety of others, please do not come to the school for a Chromebook or iPad without an appointment. Tech devices will be issued to legal parents/guardians only, by appointment only, and pick-up time slots will be created to maintain proper social distancing at all times. We estimate that it may take several weeks to safely and securely distribute to all students in need. We thank you in advance for your patience throughout this process.
Please click on this Chromebook Request Form if you need to make a request.
All devices will need to be returned to the school once remote learning is over. We will communicate a plan for return at that time.
Technologia para aprendizaje remoto
Boone prestará Chromebooks y ipads a familias que necesitan dispositivos para que los estudiantes puedan participar en el aprendizaje remoto en línea. Durante la semana del 13/04/20 comenzaremos la distribución de estos dispositivos.
Para su seguridad y la seguridad de los demás, no venga a la escuela por un dispositivo sin una cita. Las Chromebooks se emitirán solo para padres / tutores legales, solo con cita previa, y se crearán franjas horarias de recogida para mantener un distanciamiento social adecuado en todo momento. Estimamos que puede llevar varias semanas distribuir de manera segura a todos los estudiantes que lo necesitan. Le agradecemos de antemano su paciencia durante este proceso.
Haga clic en este Chromebook Request Form si necesita realizar una solicitud.
Todos los dispositivos deberán devolverse a la escuela una vez que finalice el aprendizaje remoto. Comunicaremos un plan de devolución en ese momento.
