Student Laptop Information
Hamilton High School provides every student with a laptop and charger that they will be assigned for the duration of their enrollment as a student. Every student is expected to bring their school-issued laptop daily as part of their tools for learning.
All parent/guardians must sign a Device Agreement before a student can receive their laptop.
Please sign the agreement found in the Parent Portal under the "More" tab
Visit the CUSD 1:1 Student Device Guide for all information, FAQs, troubleshooting, and Tech Center.
In support of the district one-to-one (1:1) initiative, we require all students to use our district-issued devices for educational purposes. Our devices are equipped with proper wi-fi connectivity at school compared to personal devices, strong filters, and educational apps and extensions used by the teachers that are unavailable on personal devices. The use of the district-issued device is not only a valuable resource used by many teachers for day-to-day instruction, but most importantly, exams. One of the apps included on these student devices is a secure testing app. Additionally, teachers can monitor, in real time, from their teacher's workstation all school-issued laptops being used in their class at that moment to ensure on-task behavior. This is not possible with personal devices.
List of important assessments that will require the use of the school-issued device.
- All common-final exams at the end of each semester(December and May) (No paper-versions permitted)
- PSAT (October - Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors)
