Device Distribution

In District 65, students in grades K-2 and 6-8 each receive an iPad and students in grades 3-5 each receive a Chromebook to use for instructional purposes. Students enrolled in the Joseph E. Hill Early Childhood Center have access to shared iPads, dependent on classroom instruction. Device distribution is at times flexible in order to meet students’ unique and individual learning needs.
