With the recent implementation of the 1:1 program at Pella High, new laptops will slowly be integrated into the schools, beginning with sixth graders this fall. Laptops used by this year’s senior class will be handed down to sixth graders, and the new computers will be purchased for incoming freshman. The school board discussed this issue at their recent meeting and decided that this was the best practice to insure that students had would have the same machine throughout their high school career, while also making it easier to update computers in the cycle when needed.
