As part of the Learning Everywhere Program, all KMHS students have the opportunity to receive a Dell laptop and carrying case for instructional use at home and school. In order to participate in the program, the enrolling adult must opt in through ParentVue. Once the opt-in steps below have been completed, the student must pick up the laptop during 3rd block/lunch from the KMHS textbook room, which is adjacent to the cafeteria.
To Opt-in
Students who opt in are assigned a new laptop while they are enrolled in the Cobb County School District and will be required to return the device upon graduation or withdrawal from the district. Your student will NOT receive a device unless you opt in.
WHY SHOULD I OPT-IN?
To Opt-in
- Log in to ParentVue
- On the left menu, click on Student Device Liability Agreement
- Read the agreement and accept it
- Select Opt-in for each student
Students who opt in are assigned a new laptop while they are enrolled in the Cobb County School District and will be required to return the device upon graduation or withdrawal from the district. Your student will NOT receive a device unless you opt in.
WHY SHOULD I OPT-IN?
- 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 automatically connect to the Cobb server, which will allow for better connectivity on-campus.
- 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.
See the documents attached below for additional details about how to opt-in for a student laptop.
