STUDENT DEVICES

  • Blue Valley School District is committed to providing innovative and effective learning experiences for all students. Thanks to the support of our recent bond, we have continued to support a 1:1 device model, ensuring every student has access to the tools they need to succeed. All K-8 students are equipped with Chromebooks, while high school students (9-12) receive MacBooks, empowering them to engage in dynamic, technology-enhanced learning. These devices are seamlessly integrated with hands-on, non-tech activities, creating a blended learning environment that fosters personalized learning, real-world experiences, and a globally connected perspective. 

     

    Additionally, our students are taught to navigate the digital world responsibly, making informed decisions and respecting others online. Through instructional technology, we are not only preparing students for success academically, but also equipping them with the skills they need to be safe, respectful, and responsible digital citizens in a rapidly evolving world.
