-
Who will receive devices?
Laptops are available to any student who has returned their SIGNED Student Device Letter of Agreement and does not have any outstanding fines for previous laptop damage or loss.
-
When will students receive their device?
Students will get their
laptops at the Doherty check-in days, pending paperwork completion and submission.
- Students and Parent/Guardians read and sign paper work
- Attend the check into submit paperwork & get device from the library staff (Students who miss check-in will have a make-up day where they can submit paperwork, and get their device).
-
Will there be a fee?
The only cost associated with using a D11 laptop will be fines associated with damage or loss to the device.
-
Will students have the same device every year?
Students will NOT recieve the same device from year to year.
-
What if something happens to the device (broken, stolen, lost)?
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.
-
What do students do with the device over the summer?
Students are expected to check-in their devices at the end of each school year for annual maintenance.
-
What do students do with the device if they leave Doherty or D11?
If students change schools or districts, they will need to return the laptop as part of the check-out procedure.
-
Will the laptop come with a case or a stylus?
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.
-
Will teachers expect me to bring the laptop to class daily?
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.
-
What type of technology support will be available if I have a problem?
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.
-
How or where do I print?
Students may still print in the library, but they will need to work with library staff to have a library printer installed if needed.
Printing from home should be available. Because personal printers vary, it will be the responsibility of the student and their family to determine the appropriate way to install their home printer.
-
What am I allowed to download onto my laptop?
The same policy for devices at school apply to these laptops. See the D11 policy for further information.
