District Student MacBook Air pickup for grades (8-12):
The Aitkin School District is moving forward into it’s 4th year of utilizing the MacBook Air Computer technology in classrooms. This gives students a wide range of versatility to continue to develop and expand their computer skills needed to research and magnify learning opportunities. This technology requires a parent/student meeting to discuss the policies and expectations that are related to the use and upkeep of this learning device.  Since most students were subject to this presentation last year, students in grades 8-12 who were in the district last year will only have to pay for any outstanding computer fees (a bill was sent if money is owed), and turn in the “1:1 Parent Permission and Acknowledgment Form” (one for each student), and the "MacBook Air Voluntary Insurance Policy" form (one per family) and payment (if you are purchasing the optional insurance) before being issued the MacBook Air computer.  Forms are available by clicking on the links to the left.

Students will not have a device issued to them without the necessary forms signed by parents AND students, and outstanding fees paid.  If you wish to purchase insurance, it must be paid for BEFORE the computer will be issued. 
If you do not wish to purchase insurance, you must fill out the insurance form and initial the line by "I do not wish to purchase insurance for my student(s) MacBook" and sign the form.
