OUSD 1:1 Devices for all Students
OUSD 1:1 Handbook
As OUSD starts the 1:1 device initiative throughout our district, all students on our campus will have access to a device throughout the school year. Please connect with your child's teacher regarding certain classroom-based practices, including devices going home for many of our upper-grade students.
You can find the OUSD 1:1 Handbook here. This includes information on procedures and fines.

- Theft or loss of the device outside of the school campus.
