☀️ Technology Checklist ☀️

7th Graders: 

Students will receive their MacBook Neos at the tech orientation. Ms. Fortino sent out an email reminder to returning 7th grade student's tech orientation date and time last week.  If your child did not receive an email reminder from Ms. Fortino, be sure to sign up for an orientation session here.

Tech Orientation for New 7's: August 26, 2026. New students will receive their BB&N email credentials at the session.

☑️ Review and complete the Technology Use Policy and 1:1 Device Agreement before your child's tech orientation. The TUP and 1:1 Device Agreement help ensure that students and families understand our shared expectations for responsible and appropriate technology use at BB&N. 

Please note that students whose TUP and 1:1 Device Agreement have not been signed will need to leave their school-issued device at school until the forms are completed.
