Home Handoff

As a final action for the completion of Boot Camp, you must complete the “Home Handoff” process. This final step is designed to keep your parents informed of student learnings and expectations and to assist them in setting rules and boundaries at home. To complete the Home Handoff, you must complete the following.

Discuss what you have learned from the Laptop Boot Camp lessons, and from using your laptop during semester 1, with your parents. Share the laptop rules and expectations have in classes, Share what new things you learned about technology and yourself.
Go through the “Parent/Student Agreements for Home” with your parents and fill out the agreements that you and your parent think will work best for your family.
Complete the 'Laptop Handoff' assignment (which includes a picture of you and your parent(s) with the home agreement) and answering a few prompts.

2. Parent/Student Home Laptop Agreements

Having clear expectations around laptop use at home sets students and families up for a successful transition into a 1:1 Laptop Program. It is important for students to know that parents have NOT relinquished their right to set rules and boundaries for laptop use at home.

Have a discussion with your parents guided by the Agreements for Home form. Use this form to take notes and then post in an appropriate place at home (the fridge is a good place).
