If a student attended middle school in District 197 they used an iPad. At the high school, students use a laptop to access course content, complete homework, collaborate and communicate with classmates, conduct research and more.
This does not mean that students at Two Rivers use a computer for the entire period of each class throughout their day. Our teachers continue to use traditional instructional methods and ask students to complete assignments or projects using tools other than a computer.
All students at Two Rivers have two options:
- Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) – Students/families bring a device to school that they currently own or purchased.
- Use a school-owned device – All new and incoming grade 9 students will be provided a Chromebook in the fall to use throughout their four years of high school. The device will be assigned specifically to the student and they will need to bring it to school (fully charged) each day.
Instructions for Setting Up a Chromebook: Students are able to set up their Chromebook at school or at home. Instructions are available in english and spanish.

Links for Replacement Chargers: Students are issued a charger with their device. Students are responsible for replacing the charger if it breaks or if the charger is misplaced. School District 197 is providing links to replacement chargers as a courtesy to families, not as an endorsement of services.
Student Printing Instructions: Students will use a web browser to print at school.
