Kent School District to distribute laptops to elementary students in need

The Kent School District will distribute laptops next week (April 20-24) to elementary students (grades K-6) in their school parking lots between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day.

A parent/guardian must be present for a student to pick up a laptop. The laptops are for students in need of the devices as part of the district’s commitment to ensure equity of access to technology for all students. If a student already has a laptop, they do not need to pick one up.

* When you enter the school parking lot, look for signs for where to park.

* Staff will come directly to your car. Please stay in your car at all times.

* Staff will verify your student’s identity.

* Staff will provide a laptop.

Students may have to log in at the pick-up site to initialize network connectivity and build a student profile. Staff will direct you to a location to help with this process.

Safety is priority

* Staff have already cleaned your laptop.

* Staff will wear a mask and gloves.

* Staff will minimize close contact.
