Cincinnati Public Schools 2-12 Grades Students Receiving Computers

Press release from Cincinnati Public Schools:

July 2, 2020

Cincinnati Public Schools is offering computers to all CPS students in grades 2–12 to do school work in classrooms and at home, in support of the recent Board-adopted Blended Learning model for the 2020–21 school year.

• Students in grades 2–3 will receive iPads. Student in grades 4–12 will receive laptops. The devices are on loan and must be returned at the end of the school year.
• Students in grades 4–12 who were issued iPads this summer must bring those iPads with them when they pick up new devices.
• Students in grades 4–11 who were issued laptops previously by CPS may keep those devices for the 2020–21 school year.
• Students who have devices of their own at home are welcome to continue to use them, but CPS does have enough computers available for all students in grades 2–12.

CPS-provided devices have MicroSoft Office installed, which students will need to do school work, and child-protection firewalls.

Device Distribution — July 6 through August 31, 2020

Starting July 6, students will pick up devices at the front lobby entrances of their schools on specific distribution days between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

When you arrive, pull into the school's front driveway, and a CPS technician will give instructions.

Health and safety guidelines from the federal Centers for Disease Control will be followed during distribution, including six-foot distancing and wearing masks to help prevent the spread of germs
