Computer Setup
Certified employees with a 1/2 time or greater contract are issued a laptop for use at school and at home. Laptops are rotated on a 4 year schedule. As a new hire, you may receive either a new computer or one that has been used by another teacher, but is still within its first 4 years of use.
At the end of the 4 years, new employees will be issued a new computer and may purchase their old computer at market value from the Alpine Surplus warehouse
Retiring or departing teachers must return their devices to their school principal, which will be wiped clean of all user data and prepared for reissue.
NOTE: The following process is for teachers who have been hired for 1/2 time or greater. If your contract is for less than 1/2 time or you are a classified employee, please contact your supervisor/principal for more information.
Devices for new teachers will be distributed according to the date they complete the hiring process by attending the contract signing. Refer to the information below to see when you can pick up your device.
