Jeffco Public Schools is committed to preparing students to be college and career ready; communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills are essential to thrive in the 21st century. Starting with the 2019-2020 school year and each year for the three years after, 5th and 9th grade students will receive devices from the district 1:1 program to use for educational purposes.
Families will pay an annual $50 fee which covers the device, staff support, tech support, digital learning tools, teacher professional learning, internet filtering, bandwidth, and community resources. If a student leaves JRLP, they are to return the device to the school and will get another one if transferring to another Jeffco school.
Having ongoing access to technology will allow our students to consistently practice and apply those 21st century skills, and prepare them for a variety of post-secondary options.
