• All K-12 students must have a working, internet-enabled device (school-issued, district-issued or personal device) for remote learning. 
• Students with a working device from the Spring should continue using that device; and we need to leverage all available devices across schools to meet the needs of all students. 
• DoTS will work with schools to provide a surplus device inventory of up to 5% to accommodate swaps and reduce lost instructional time.

• All district-run schools checking a device out to a student are expected to use Snipe-IT for asset tracking. This will allow for increased accuracy in inventories and our ability to distribute devices more readily.
• Training will be provided to STPs and STRs this summer.

The Parent Essentials for Technology has key internet info for families

Schools may also request additional hotspots from DoTS, on an as needed basis. Please note that generally only 1 hotspot is needed per household.

Ongoing: 

• Student Device and Internet access measures will be available in the Progress Monitoring Report on Principal Portal 
  • Principals (or designee i.e. STP or STR) verify student-level device and internet data via Infinite Campus
• STR/STP to check out devices from the school’s inventory FIRST to students without a device, following safety protocols. Once school inventory is depleted, STR/STP to work with DoTS to receive additional devices to distribute via the school.

Now - Aug. 12: STR/STP to complete an existing school device inventory/survey  (DoTS will pair this with additional data to determine device needs).

More to Follow: DoTS will work with schools on supplemental device delivery, where applicable. 

• Schools should continue to collect devices (Chromebooks, iPads, hotspots etc.) from students leaving DPS (i.e. seniors and others leaving district); as well as broken devices. 
• We will encourage students with lost or broken district-issued devices to report the loss or damage to their school (so we’ll have a better understanding of device deficits).

• District-run schools: Students should initiate a repair with the STR or STP at their school. The DoTS Service Desk is also available for device support (720-423-3163)
• Charter schools will continue to service break/fix for their own students.

We will report on student device and internet access for district-run schools.

• This is dependent on schools using IC and Snipe-IT for asset tracking.

We can request information from charters, but will be dependent on charters reporting.

We are not centrally purchasing devices for teachers or paras.

• Google Meet is the district supported video conferencing platform for staff and students.
• If a school would like to use Zoom, they must receive Parent Consent.

Google Chat is the district supported messaging platform for staff. Skype for Business will be decommissioned as part of the Google transition. Please note that the ‘Google Chat’ feature is disabled for students for security reasons.
