HRHS Special Announcement
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are writing to share an exciting update regarding our school’s continued commitment to enhancing student learning through technology.
Beginning this upcoming school year, we will be implementing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiative. This will help us get to a one device per student ratio, ensuring that each student has access to a personal device to support their learning both in and out of the classroom. This initiative is designed to foster collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and digital literacy—skills that are essential for success in today’s world.
Students are encouraged to bring a personal laptop or tablet to school, provided it meets our school’s technology requirements. For families who are unable to provide a device, the school will ensure that a chromebook is available for student use.
To ensure a safe and productive learning environment, all devices—whether school-issued or personal—will be connected to our secure network and subject to our school’s acceptable use policies. Teachers will guide students in using technology responsibly and effectively as part of daily instruction and details will be in the student handbook.
Technology Requirements:
Intel, AMD, or ARM-based processor (This includes Apple’s A series and M series processors)
8GB RAM
64GB SSD
WPA2-Enterprise ability in networking
Examples of devices:
We believe this initiative will greatly enrich the educational experience for all students and better prepare them for the future.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education.
Sincerely,
Admin Team and Technology Committee of Highlands Ranch High School
