Dear Parents,
We are pleased to announce the launch of our optional Bring-Your-Own-Technology (BYOT) program in Grade 4 this year. Many of you have chosen to purchase a device or send an existing device with your child to school this year. Although Grade 4 students will have access to a personal PC laptop in their classrooms, a variety of other devices can enhance the learning experience for students. In addition, students bringing their own technology can access the digital side of their learning after school and from anywhere with an Internet connection. This device may include any of the following:
- Laptop (PC or Mac)
- Tablet (Android or iPad)
- iPod Touches
Students may bring in their devices to school beginning Monday, August 18. We will configure devices on the day they are brought in, however, parents may send a device with their child anytime after this date. To enable the IT department to properly configure the device, please disable all passwords temporarily on that day and ensure the operating system is set to English.
Please bring any questions you may have to the ES Back to School Night on Thursday August 21.
