Elementary Students<\/strong>
All elementary students will leave their iPads at their campus at the end of 2020-2021 school year. Virtual students are asked to please bring their school-issued device back to campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sixth-grade students moving to RISD junior high next year will pick up their new school-issued device at the start of the 2021-22 school year at their junior high campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondary Students<\/strong>
Starting with this summer, all secondary students returning to RISD next year will keep their school-issued Chromebooks over the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allowing returning RISD secondary students to keep their devices over the summer provides continued opportunities for learning through district summer programs. Secondary students will have continual access to RISD resources through the school-issued device, creating greater technology access for families and streamlining logistics for students and campuses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurance for school-issued Chromebooks will continue to be available over the summer through Worth Ave. Group. Students are responsible for the upkeep of their Chromebook. Parents may continue to cover their student\u2019s school-issued device from accidental damage or theft over the summer for $8. The insurance premium for June, July and August is $8. The replacement cost for a Chromebook is $265. For more information about summer insurance for RISD-issued Chromebooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elementary Virtual Summer School<\/strong>
Parents of summer school elementary students (or those upcoming 7th graders) only, if you have registered for an RISD summer school VIRTUAL program and do not have an internet connected device at home for your student to use, then RISD will provide one for you. You may go to the RISD Helpdesk Annex and pick up a grade-appropriate device as a loaner for the duration of the virtual summer school program. RISD Helpdesk can be found at 420 S Greenville Ave, Richardson, Texas 75081. Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Please bring your confirmation email of your summer school registration, showing enrollment in a VIRTUAL program and your student’s ID#.<\/strong> The device will be checked out in the student’s name and due back to the RISD Helpdesk Annex within a week of program completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
