Continuous Summer Use
Learning Forward, Future Ready
Lawrence Public Schools offers an exciting opportunity for students to extend their learning through the summer months!
Middle and high school students currently in Grades 6 and 7 and 9-11 will have the opportunity to take their district iPads/MacBooks home for use during the summer.
Parents/guardians and students must sign an opt-in permission form and the Acceptable Computer Use Policy to participate. Return those signed forms to your school library media center by May 22. Otherwise, students will need to return their devices and power cords in bags provided to designated check-in carts on their final day of school.
Technology Services staff will provide information, answer questions, and encourage completion of opt-in forms for Learning Forward Future Ready summer use during secondary parent/teacher conferences.
