Student 1:1 Laptop Information

Laptop Distribution and Device Policy Updates

To support classroom learning, testing, and the possibility of remote learning, every student will be issued an SPS device. We’re pleased to announce that, once again, SPS will not be collecting an upfront fee for repairs on student devices this year.

Starting this year, only SPS-provided devices will be allowed for classroom learning. Personal devices may still be used outside of classroom learning.

Each school will inform families and students of their specific laptop distribution schedule.

If you still have a hotspot from the previous school year or from summer school, these hotspots will soon be disabled. Read more updates about SPS student devices for the new school year.
