Important information for all students:

Do you have a remote learning device? A chromebook is not necessary.

If you have already requested a device, you will receive a personal communication telling you where and when to pick up your device on Monday, March 30. If you do not have a device as listed above, you can request a device from the district. To request a device for your child please call (720) 972-5555 and leave a voicemail or email: Adams12RemoteLearning@adams12.org.

Parents can come to one of the five district comprehensive high schools - Horizon, Legacy, Mountain Range, Northglenn or Thornton High School - to be assigned a device through a drive-thru or walk up process. Devices will be distributed on Tuesday, March 31 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Families must sign for the devices when picking one up. All devices will need to be returned to the district.
