1. Back up your data:

   • If you store all of your data in the cloud using Google Drive or iCloud through your managed Apple ID, you're already done with this step...congratulations!

   • If you have files on your laptop that you need backed up, the easiest way is using the Backup & Restore Assistant in Self Service. You can find instructions on how to use this utility here. This utility will allow you to easily make a backup of all your important files and then easily drop them into place on your new laptop.

2. Find your accessories

   • Make sure you have your charger block and charger cable. You will be using the same carry sleeve that you were given with your current laptop.

   • You don't need to bring any other accessories like a document camera or multi-port dongle (you can turn those in now if you aren't using them).

3. Clean your laptop!

   • If you don't, we'll have to, so...

   • We will have cleaning supplies available at the swap point if you need them.

Due to the large number of devices that we need to deploy added to an already busy summer workload, we will plan to have several "swap days" set up sometime after all of the devices are ready. Several of these days will be prior to the start of school and at least one will be after schools starts. We will have staff on hand to collect the old device and give you the new laptop. 

• If you anticipate needing help backing up your old device, it is strongly recommended that you try well in advance of the swap days so you can set up a time to work with a technician.

• Don't delay! There will be a time, shortly after school starts, when any laptops that haven't been turned in will stop working. Each device that we have in service requires and MDM licenses and we only have a short window of time where we can maintain licensing on your new device and your old device before the swap happens.

Tech staff will be available to swap out your old device for your new device on the days and times listed below. Remember, we aren't able to assist with backing up your device during these times.
