Each year all incoming Freshman students are issued a laptop by the Londonderry School District.

Students:

• Receive the laptop as a loan from the school & keep the laptop until they graduate.

• Use the laptop each day during classes, bringing it home at the end of the day.

• Bring the laptop to school every day fully charged.

• Are expected to be responsible when using it & to report laptop issues or damage right away to the Student Tech Support Center at the front of the main lobby.

School Laptops:

• Are serviced by Technology Staff at the school's Student Tech Support Center at the front of the main lobby.

• Connect to a primary Wi-Fi school network & to school resources, such as printers.

• Are set up to participate in digital SATs, PSATs, & State Assessment testing.

• Receive necessary software and updates over the network & Internet from the School District's Cloud.

• Include an anti-virus program & software that blocks school-inappropriate websites.

Londonderry High School Laptop Distribution

Laptops will be distributed on the following times and dates.

• August 16th, 2024: 9am-2pm (LHS Main Lobby)

• August 19th, 2024: 5pm-8pm (LHS Main Lobby)

Parents and students are encouraged to pick up the laptop before Freshman Orientation night, as picking it up that night will result in a much longer than usual wait time.  Note that it takes about 10 minutes for each student to set up their password and school accounts on the laptop and for processing paperwork.

Please review all information on this webpage before picking up the laptop to avoid delays in processing your student's paperwork.

If you have any questions, contact the IT Department or your House Office during regular school hours.

Transfer students:

• For School Year 2023-24, all incoming students at the high school in grades 9 through 12 receive a laptop.

• It is important for all families new to the Londonderry School District to agree to the district’s technology policies when registering with the school district by completing the Digital Technology Acceptable Use Policy (click here) form, included in the district's Registration Packet.
