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.
