Consultation has concluded

Foothills School Division has begun planning for a 1:1 Device Program. This program, scheduled to launch in September 2022, would allow for each student in Grade 4-12 to have a Chromebook for use at school and home.

The Foothills School Division Board of Trustees has reviewed the consultation feedback and has determined there is community interest and support in implementing a 1:1 Device Program.

Over the 2021-2022 school year, Foothills School Division will:

  • Develop a device rental program.
  • Allow families at Foothills Composite, Highwood, Oilfields, Heritage Heights, Turner Valley, and Blackie Schools the option to purchase Chromebooks at cost ($267).
    • Foothills School Division will purchase the required licences to ensure these devices can easily connect to FSD networks, print, and be available for exams.
  • Replace internet switches and action points at Foothills Composite, Highwood, and Oilfields High Schools to ensure reliable connectivity in these locations.

If you have any questions surrounding the 1:1 Device Program please contact Sally Smith, Director of Technology.
