We are excited to follow up on the school district’s communication about the opportunity your student has to receive a laptop for instructional use at home and at school.

How Do I Opt-In For My Middle School Student?

In order to participate in the program, the enrolling adult must opt in through ParentVue. Directions are provided at the bottom of this post.

• Students will not receive a laptop unless the parent opts-in through ParentVue.
• Students who currently have a CCSD laptop issued to them from last year will not be able to receive a new laptop. The previously issued laptop must be returned before a new laptop can be assigned. Please contact the Front Office if you have any questions.

Why Should I Opt-In For My Middle School Student?

• Students will be expected to bring their district-issued devices to school every day for use in their content area classes.
• School-issued devices will be connected to the Cobb server, which will allow for better connectivity.
• School-issued devices will come with the required Office 365 software that Cobb students utilize
• School-issued devices will have access to our testing platforms. For example, students will be able to take End of Grade Tests as well benchmarks like MI/RI in their classrooms, increasing flexibility and reducing the loss of instructional time.   
• When all students have the same device, teachers can incorporate technology more often since they are assured all students have access.

When Will County Laptops Be Distributed?

Information regarding distribution, device set-up, and tech support will be sent home in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please go to ParentVue opt-in so that we can ensure we have the correct number of devices available for students.
