Student Computer Care Guidelines

Follow these quick tips to keep your school laptop running smoothly!

Bring your computer to school fully charged (and remember your charger!)
Restart daily when you get to school.
Keep food and drink away from your computer
Be gentle when typing, clicking, and opening and closing the lid.
Use removable tape (label maker is OK), to label your computer and charger. No stickers, permanent markers, adhesives, etc.
Carrying your laptop in an overstuffed backpack could lead to screen damage. Make sure there is plenty of room. You may want to use a padded laptop case if you're worried about it getting squished!
AT HOME: Leave your device plugged in, powered on, and connected to WIFi overnight to charge your computer and download/install updates.

Students in the Mukilteo School District have access to laptop computers and other learning devices! Secondary students in grades 6-12 check out and transport their laptops between school and home. Elementary students will have access to their own laptops in their classrooms to use throughout the day. While Elementary laptops will remain at school most of the time, there may be times when Elementary students will take a laptop home.

The purpose is to increase access and ensure each student has a readily available device to support their learning. It is important to note that while students will have immediate access to a laptop, it does not mean that teachers will utilize laptops one hundred percent of their instructional time.
