ACHS Laptop Program
As we move into the new high school many of the design and educational features will be a significant change from other schools. American Canyon High School features:
· A wireless network that allows student access from anywhere on campus
· Larger classrooms
· 21st century teaching and learning environment
· Flexible furniture and classroom design
· LEED design principles providing a more comfortable environmental setting
· A consistent student centered design in the building and grounds
In this 21st century facility we need to implement a 21st century student computer access model. Having examined several possible implementation plans, we are proposing parents provide a netbook or laptop computer for their student’s use at ACHS. Over the past year I have shared this concept at community meetings and have received positive support.
Our wireless network will support all computer brands and platforms. You are welcome to purchase another brand such as MCA (Apple) or bring a Dell netbook/laptop PC you already own. We will provide assistance to students during the school day who bring any brand of laptop.
This is a voluntary program. Our hope is all families will elect to participate. We will provide access to computers at school to students who choose not to participate in the laptop program. The program will be a significant change in the learning and teaching process which will empower our students to be successful in a 21st Century world.
For this year only we will have a limited amount of Dell Netbooks for purchase through our Payment Plan. We also have a limited amount of Dell Netbooks available for rent to students that qualify for our Scholarship Program (student must be enrolled in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program).
ACHS Netbook Payment Plan - required for students what wish to participate in our Payment Plan.
ACHS Student Laptop Acknowledgement Form - required for all students that wish to receive a Netbook from ACHS through the Payment Plan or the Scholarship Program.
ACHS Student Technology Scholarship Application - required for students that wish to rent a Netbook from ACHS.
ACHS Student Scholarship Agreement - required for students that whish to rent a Netbook from ACHS. A copy of NVUSD lunch program approval must be attached before paperwork will be processed.
