Anticipation

When I was a kid, I absolutely loved riding roller coasters. I grew up in Eastern Ohio and there were three or four amusement parks within two hours of my hometown, and a day trip to one of those parks was often my family’s summer vacation. Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh. Idora Park in Youngstown. Geauga Lake in Aurora. I looked forward to those park days excited that I would get to ride my favorite coasters.

For me, this time of year is a little bit like that roller coaster going up the first hill. We have spent the summer planning for the new school year.

EFCTS Introduces 1:1 Technology to its students

Eastland-Fairfield will be introducing 1:1 Technology to its students across the District for the 2022-23 school year. Each student will have the opportunity to possess and use a new Google Chromebook at the start of the year. Upon completion of their program, the student may elect to permanently possess their Chromebook.

Each family must complete the EFCTS Technology 1:1 Chromebook Device Agreement in order to take advantage of the program. Families may choose to be issued a Chromebook for school use only, meaning that the student must return their assigned Chromebook to a designated area at the end of the school day OR may choose to be issued a Chromebook for school and home use, allowing the student to take their device home. Families that do not complete the Device Agreement will not be issued a Chromebook.

NOTE: The 1:1 Technology program does NOT apply to students enrolled in a satellite program.

If you have additional questions about 1:1 Technology use at Eastland-Fairfield or would like hard copies of the AUP form, please click the button below or visit www.EastlandFairfield.com/1to1.
