NTPS FUTURE-READY 1:1 PILOT

Derek Stewart Director of Technology

Why 1:1 @ NTPS?

• Access: Every classroom will now have student technology.
• Equity: Every student will have a device for anytime, anywhere

learning.

• Future-Ready: Every student will be prepared to use technology for

learning in High School and beyond.

• Achievement: 1:1 districts have seen test scores/graduation rates go

up and disciplinary actions go down after successful adoption.

• Efficiency: At any given time, around 20% of our Chromebook carts

are not in use due to planning time.

1:1 Chromebooks

• HP 11” Chromebook will come in a

attached protective folio.

• 6+ hours of battery life will get through the

school day.

• Internet filter will follow the device.
• Devices are protected from viruses and

malware.

• Charger will come home the first day and

stay at home.

NTPS 1:1 Assurance Program

Optional fee to cover damaged or lost/stolen device.

1:1 Pilot Rollout

Salish and Aspire Lead the Way

• Digital Citizenship lessons for students prior to the

devices gong home.

• The 1:1 Use Agreement will go home to be signed by

students and parents.

• Assurance can be paid online or by check before launch.
• The first week of February will be “Tech Free” week

while we prepare the devices for take home.

• Devices will be checked out to students Monday,

February 12th and will go home after school.

Safe Use of 1:1 Devices

• Internet filter is on every device, but no filter is

perfect.

• YouTube restricted mode is in place.
• Devices are not actively monitored off campus.
• Web history and student email is logged 24/7.
• If you suspect cyberbullying, let your school know!

Safe Use of 1:1 Devices

• Parents are in charge of appropriate use after

the device leaves campus.

• Have a discussion with your child around

expectations of tech use in your home.

• Consider having your student leave their 1:1

device to charge in a common area during family time and at night.

• Visit www.nthurston.k12.wa.us/futureready for

parent resources around safe use of online devices with your child.

Community Connectivity Options

• All NTPS facilities have community Wi-Fi

named NTPS-Guest.

• Every Timberland Regional Library has free

Wi-Fi.

• Numerous businesses in Lacey offer free

Wi-Fi to customers.

• Low cost internet options are available

dependent on income level.

What’s Next for 1:1?

• Expansion of 1:1 to all middle schools next

year, dependent on pilot results.

• High schools during the 2019-2020 school

year, dependent on funding.

• At elementary we’ll continue to use

classroom based carts for our youngest learners.

What If….?

Our family doesn’t want to participate in take-home? You don’t have to. We don’t want to pay for Assurance? It’s optional, but repairs and replacements are full price. A student forgets to bring or doesn’t charge their chromebook? They can charge at school or use a loaner device if available. A student repeatedly doesn’t charge or bring their device to school? The school and parents will discuss possible loss of take-home privileges. Our student loses or has a device stolen? If lost, a lost/stolen form has to be filed with the school office. If stolen, a police report is required. Our family can’t afford the 1:1 Assurance Program or Wi-Fi? Meet with your school counselors for additional resources.
