Technology:

Students have the option to bring in their own laptop or use a school owned one (which will not be allowed to leave school property). As we have a limited number of laptops available, the preferred method is to have their own.

If using school owned laptop, an agreement would need to be signed by both the student and parents. In the event of severe damage to a school laptop, a replacement fee will be issued. For additional information regarding laptop usage/service agreements, please contact our Learning Commons Facilitator, Mrs. Tracy Bell at tbell@rockyview.ab.ca or by telephone at 403-273-1343 ext. 6537
