we are connected
At Delbarton, we teach students that digital technology is a benefit that can enhance learning and bring students closer in times of distance, but that digital tools cannot replace in-person teaching, social interactions, relationships and community. We encourage students to be mindful of their screen time, to be engaged in their learning community, and to consider both the opportunities and the drawbacks of online connectivity.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Laptop Program
Delbarton is a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) school for grades 9-12. A laptop is a required component of every student's educational tool kit, just as textbooks, calculators, and pencils are. Students are expected to have their computers available at all times should a teacher wish to incorporate technology into the curriculum. Students' laptops will be purchased and maintained by individual students and families.
Note: We will do our best to help with any software issues but we cannot repair or replace any hardware on personally owned devices.
Middle School Chromebook Program
7th & 8th grade Students are issued Chromebooks to use while in school and at home. Before entering 9th grade, the device must be returned to the Technology Office. Chromebooks are school issued and school maintained, however the student is responsible for any physical damage to the device.
