TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Technical support is also available to help with computer hardware and software problems.
COMPUTERS (Click Here to see specifics)
Connections provides students with a DELL windows-based computer.
Families have three options:
- Checking out a Desktop
- Checking out a Laptop
- Joining the Rent-To-Own Program
A non-refundable annual $25.00 insurance premium fee for computers will be due upon receiving equipment and each year afterwards. This fee will be taken out of the student’s allotment.
Computers and components are to be returned in the condition in which they were provided (according to the terms set forth in the Equipment and Technical Support Agreement). In the case of loss or negligent damage, the user is responsible for the $100.00 deductible insurance fee.

Printers are available at no cost to the student. Connections stocks ink for the models we have which can be purchased out of the student’s allotment.
