MacBook Air distribution dates for middle and high schools set
(EL PASO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT -- June 20, 2018) EPISD next month will begin the distribution of MacBook Air laptops to thousands of middle- and high-school students in anticipation of the start of the 2018-19 academic year.
Distribution of laptops will happen July 23 to Aug. 2. The MacBook Air laptops were funded through the Bond 2016 initiative approved by EPISD voters.
The District will distribute MacBooks to incoming sixth-graders only at the following middle schools: Young Women’s Academy, Wiggs, Terrace Hills, Canyon Hills, Magoffin, Hornedo, Brown, Ross and MacArthur. Incoming seventh- and eight-graders at those schools received a MacBook Air laptops last year.
Students in all grades at the following middle schools will receive MacBook Air laptops: Charles, Henderson, Armendariz, Morehead, Bassett and Guillen. Students in these campuses who were issued an iPad need to have turned in their device before a new MacBook Air is distributed to them. (Please note that for these campuses, outgoing eight-graders who will be ninth-graders in the upcoming school year, will need to pick up their MacBook Air laptops at their middle-school campus.)
At the high schools, incoming 11th graders will receive a new MacBook Air. These students need to have turned in their EPISD-issued PC laptops before they receive a new Apple device. Incoming freshmen and sophomores were issued a MacBook Air last year.
Parents of any student issued a new MacBook Air will need to sign a Responsible Use Agreement.
