Remote Learning Platforms

In the event we have a full school closure we have established a set of system to help our students join classes remotely. This detailed help article will provide you with instructions on how to assist your child if this were to be the case.

Tech Orientation

PK - 2 Grade

We highly recommend that families familiarize themselves with our tech orientation in an effort to support their students in the event we were to go remote.

3rd - 5th Grade

Students have received a tech orientation on their devices and remote learning procedures in the event the Lower School has to go remote. Review the detailed help article on logging into digital platforms.

Device Replacement and Repair Policy

If a device is lost, stolen or destroyed/damaged beyond repair while off-campus (including at home and during transit to/from school), the family will be responsible for the full replacement cost of:

  • $473 for an iPad
  • $430 for a Chromebook.

We purchase accidental damage coverage and most broken screens and other minor issues will be covered under those policies. If the damage is beyond the scope of those policies we will at our discretion and best judgement ask families to pay for the repair or a device replacement.

Families are responsible for replacing broken chargers with the equivalent OEM (Apple or Lenovo) product (contact us for details if you find yourself in that situation). If there is a manufacturing defect or other non-user issue, we will investigate and determine the best course of action.

Care for your Lower School child's iPad or Chromebook
