Jeffco Public Schools is committed to working with our schools and various departments, community partners, businesses, and others to ensure students have devices and access to home internet for remote learning or hybrid learning.
The following processes will support students to ensure access:
1. Look at the condition of your device. If it was damaged over the summer, please call 303-982-3438 to arrange to drop it off to be repaired before the start of school. Call the same number if you are missing a part, like a charger. If you shared your device with another student in the spring, let your school know.
2. If you are going into 5th or 9th grade, look for information about your device. All 5th and 9th grade students will receive a new device at the beginning of the school year as part of the TechForEd program. Your old device will be collected, cleaned, and likely reused in lower grade levels unless the purchase agreements for those devices stated the family owned them at the end of their educational use.
3. Make plans for home internet access. If you do not currently have internet access at your home, check to see if you are eligible and ask your parent or guardian if you can apply for the Comcast Internet Essentials program. Additional low cost internet options are listed on the public website as well. If you are unable to obtain internet service, please let your school know so we can work with you to find a solution for your student.
4. Reach out to get support when you need it. Visit our device support page on the Jeffco website and remember to call 303-982-3438 during the school year if you need technical support for remote learning.
