We will have 3 meetings thru/o the school day to do the following: Teach students and parents about LOGO, go over expectations for use and care of equipments, and agreement form. Parents will attend with students and sign agreement at the end of the meeting. Once this is done, they will check out netbook that same day. Two night meetings will be held for parents who cannot attend the day meetings. Students will NOT receive their netbook until parent attends the meeting with the student. The library tech will do this. We will have ID badges made that include the following: name, ID #, and picture. These will be printed and laminated on card-stock and placed in the pocket on the front of the case. Mouse Squad Yes. Where will these be housed? TBD. We need to ID excess netbooks. Right now, we do not have any. We may consider ESETT laptops, as well as IBM laptops already on campus. These will need to be re-imaged. Combo teachers will not use their netbooks for LOGO. 6th grade students will get thei netbooks from their 6th CORE teachers only.
