Horizon West Middle School Families,

Here is an update regarding our schools 1:1 Digital Learning Program.  We will begin transitioning to a classroom-based device model this school year.  This means that district-issued devices will primarily be used in school and will no longer be taken home.

Why is this change happening?

• Keeping devices at school ensures they are always updated, and ready for classroom activities, allowing lessons to begin without delay.
• Our teachers blend digital resources with hands-on activities, group work, and traditional materials.  This change ensures all students have access to the right tools at the right time.
• Storing devices in the classroom helps reduce accidental damage and loss, ensuring they are available for all students when needed.

• Devices will remain at school.
• Students will be reminded to save their work to their Google Drive account before the end of each class.

• Please encourage your child to handle classroom devices with care and respect.
