Tennessee High School
Every student in grades 4-12 will be provided a laptop. Returning students must bring their BTCS backpack and charger with them in order to be issued a laptop. Except students in grades 6-9, who will be issued a new charger with their device. Students receiving laptops for the first time will be issued a backpack. Laptops will be distributed at each child's school (for the students in that school only), with the exception of Tennessee Middle School where students will go to Viking Hall.
Parents and students can expedite the time spent at the on-site training by completing a portion of the process online prior to arriving to laptop distribution. The online portion includes: 1) verifying and updating your child's information, 2) watching a brief training video, and 3) paying (or selecting a payment method for) the $50 technology usage fee. Any technology fines must be paid in full prior to a student being issued a laptop.
Elementary and Tennessee Middle School
Students in grades 4-8 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to pick up their laptop. Parents/legal guardians must provide valid identification to ensure the safety of each student's information.
Tennessee High School
Parents of Tennessee High students are not required to attend laptop distribution. However, your child will not be issued a laptop until a parent/guardian completes the online process. If you need assistance or access to a computer to complete the online process, please contact the school at (423) 652-9494 and press "2" for the Counseling Office to schedule an appointment.
