The answer: Most schools will allow students to use their own devices for virtual learning, others will provide a device to those students in need of one.

Contact your school district if you are in need of a device.

Many school districts have allocated funds to purchase thousands of laptops or Chromebooks as many students will start the school year virtually. These devices will allow access to Wi-Fi and have a microphone and webcam built in.

Pasadena ISD and Cy-Fair ISD announced in their reopening plans that they will provide a laptop for all students, regardless of their chosen method of instruction. Cy-Fair ISD said in their release that student access to a laptop opens doors to quality instruction from teachers.
