Grades 6, 7 & 8

ETR Electronic Device Program Overview

Students live in an on-demand, technology-dependent world, and we as a school district are addressing students’ need to get instant answers, to communicate as they learn, and to create information and share it with others. Students are able to learn in an environment where technology brings subjects to life and where students can own their learning environment and engage in learning that is meaningful.

Program Requirements:

The following steps must be completed for each student to receive an electronic device:

1. Review the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) information and complete the online form.

2. Pay the Electronic Device Program Fee ($30) and any outstanding technology fees from the prior year via HAC.
