Information about Technology Devices for Students

Through the Everyone:1 initiative all AISD students in grades 1-5 are able to receive an assigned device for use at school and home from Austin ISD.

• Students in grades PK-k grades will receive class sets of Chromebooks and chargers that will be individually assigned, but kept in classrooms.
• 1st-5th students will receive Chromebooks and chargers. This is a change from last year. All students will use Chromebooks and not Ipads.

More information, including a handbook about AISD’s Acceptable Use Policies, device care and tips, and replacement fees can be found at AISD Student Devices page

Each campus has a campus student device manager. Summitt’s device manager (DM) is Denise G. Richey. She can be reached at denise.richey@austinisd.org. Teachers and other campus staff can also support and know how to direct students when assistance is needed.

Please note that AISD has updated the guidelines for replacement of lost chargers and accidental damaged/lost devices for consistency across all campuses. An overview of the updates can be found below, and more information is available in the Everyone:1 handbook and website.

• First lost charger is replaced from campus stock.
  • Second and beyond are charged $15/per charger (subject to updates) OR student replaces it.
• First incidental damage or lost device is replaced from campus stock.
  • Second and beyond are charged $50/per device (subject to updates).

Additionally, students and families can check out AISD’s Family Technology Resources website for additional tips, including Technology Use Tutorials for Students.
