7-12 Parents/Guardians and Students:
High school students will be able to pick up their laptops while they are at school getting their class schedules on Thursday, August 10th and Friday, August 11th. Laptop pick up will be in the computer room and schedule is as follows:
Thursday, August 11th
Freshman 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

All 7-12 students will need to bring either $30 or an insurance form proving that their insurance covers a lost or stolen laptop, as well as the signed Acceptable Network and Internet Use Policy. They can bring the signed form and money with them when they pick up their laptop or on the first day of school.
The laptops have a warranty, but it does not cover if it is lost or stolen. To offset an occurrence, each student is required to either pay $30 or show proof of insurance that covers a lost or stolen laptop. If the laptop is missing or stolen, there will be a $150 charge to replace the laptop. If the laptop is intentionally damaged, the student will be required to reimburse the school for the full amount to repair or replace the damaged laptop.
The laptops are for education use only and I ask that as the parent or guardian you monitor your student’s use. If you have any questions or the scheduled pickup times don’t work for you, email me at andy.erickson@k12.sd.us.
