Dallas ISD gave out about 4,000 iPads and Chromebooks to elementary students at 16 schools on Aug. 17, kicking off a three-week effort to provide every elementary school student with a device prior to the start of school on Sept. 8.
Parents each receive a backpack of supplies for each student. Inside that backpack is the assigned computing device, charger, earbuds, a mobile Internet hotspot if the student doesn’t have access to the Internet at home, and basic instructions in both English and Spanish for logging in and how to get technical support.
Parents with a student enrolled at the campus do not need to separately register to pick up a device. A parent with questions regarding their child’s enrollment status at the campus should contact the school directly.
Elementary schools will hold makeup distribution date for families who can’t make it to the school’s assigned day or had not enrolled in the school prior to distribution date. Due to the physical constraints of school driveways and potential traffic impacts, many elementary schools are now holding the device distributions inside the campus. Social distancing best practices are implemented inside the school for device pickup. Families who wish to remain outside the campus to pickup the device can let a district representative at the campus know and will be accommodated.
Each Dallas ISD secondary student should already have been provided a computing device and, if requested, a mobile Internet hotspot. For secondary students who are new to the district–or need their device repaired or replaced–the district will hold events prior to the start of school.
Any Dallas ISD family needing Internet connection can go here for the mobile hotspot request form.
Dallas ISD IT staff will be on elementary campuses from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. and distribute the devices based on the below time frames:
| PK-K | 9am-10am |
| 1st-2nd | 10am-11am |
| Lunch Break | 11am-12pm |
| 3rd-4th | 12pm-1pm |
| 5th-6th | 1pm-2pm |
