Pumas Use One-to-One Technology!
To help parents and students learn more about this initiative, we have created our 1:1 Student Guide website, which you can find at https://1to1.gse.cusd80.com. There is a lot of information on this website, but we feel it is important to the success of this initiative to clearly communicate all of it to our parents and students. We encourage all of you to review this information with your child(ren) so you have a clear understanding of device expectations, maintenance, etc.
Technology Usage
Please remind your student to use their device for educational purposes only. Students found not using their device appropriately risk possible discipline and/ or loss of technology privilege's. It is important the student devices are used properly and for the purpose of education.
