TECHNOLOGY
If we are in a 100% online learning environment or a hybrid learning model, my family will not have enough devices for each student. How can I get an additional device?
For the 2020-21 school year, each 7-12 grade student will receive a PV-issued chromebook. We will assess the need for K-6 families who need additional devices for online learning if necessary.
Certain secondary courses utilize software that will not operate on a Chromebook. Students with their own laptops will be allowed to download the software. Students in need of a device to download the software will be provided a laptop by the PV technology department.
