The laptops will be handed out by grade level followed by each incoming class so that all students have a device by 2021.

2019-2020 Incoming Freshmen and Sophomores

2020-2021 Incoming Freshmen (the sophomores and juniors will still have their laptops)

2021-2022 Incoming Freshmen (the sophomores, juniors, and seniors will still have their laptops)

Students will get their laptops at the Doherty check-in days: August 6 & 7, 2019. 

1. Students view video
2. Students and Parent/Guardians read and sign paper work
3. Students and Parent/Guardians pay the technology fee (MySchoolBucks or DHS business office)
4. Attend the check in on August 6th (sophomores) or August 7th (freshmen) to submit paperwork & get device from the library staff (Students who miss check-in will have a make-up day where they can submit the required fee, paperwork, and get their device).

Only freshmen and sophomores are getting the devices. All students and teachers will still have access to computers in the library, classrooms, and computer labs.

Yes, students will pay a yearly student technology fee. This fee is $50 for the school year (there are reductions for free and reduced families). Pay online with MySchoolBucks or through the business office who will accept cash, check or credit.

If your student(s) qualify for free or reduced lunch, you must provide documentation to the business office in order to have the reduced cost of the annual fee. If you have questions about qualifying for free and reduced, call Laurie Hylle in food services at 520-2934.

Yes, students will keep the same device until they graduate. Students must take responsibility in the care of their device. If students change schools, they will need to return the laptop as part of the check-out procedure.

Students are expected to check-in their devices at the end of each school year for annual maintenance.

They will get their same laptop back in the fall.

A damaged device will be repaired at the expense of the student. Once the fee is paid, students will receive a loaner device to use until their assigned device is returned and usable. If the device is lost, the cost of a replacement will be due. If the device is stolen, a police report will need to be filed and next steps may vary, but it is important to know that every student is responsible for keeping their device safe and is ultimately accountable for the expense of replacing it.

See the user agreement for more information.

Students are expected to check-in their devices at the end of each school year for annual maintenance.

They will get their same laptop back in the fall. If a student wants to keep the device over the summer, he/she is required to pay the following year’s $50 technology fee. The device will need to be checked-in for maintenance for a day or two once school resumes in the fall.

If students change schools or districts, they will need to return the laptop as part of the check-out procedure.

Students will receive a case (black, only 1 option). They may personalize their case (not their actual laptop).

Students will not receive but may purchase their own stylus. They must be compatible with a Dell Latitude 3190 2-in-1.

Yes. Teachers will vary in their technology requirements, but it is still the expectation that all students with devices will have them charged and ready to use daily in each class.

Doherty will have a student staffed Peer Tech Tutor Team in the library each period. If there is a question or any issue, those students will be available. If peers are unable to solve the problem, the library staff will assist.

Students may still print in the library, but they will need to get on a school desktop and pull up their files using the cloud or a thumb drive. Students may or may not be able to print at home, depending on their wireless printer installation requirement

The same policy for devices at school apply to these laptops. See the D11 policy for further information.
