The digital landscape is changing rapidly, and today’s students require a different set of skills than those of previous generations. To succeed, graduates must look beyond the “three R’s” and master the essential 21st-century skills of problem-solving, critical thinking, and technological literacy. In a modern workforce, students must be able to find, synthesize, and communicate information instantly while collaborating with peers across the hall and colleagues across the globe.

Hinckley-Finlayson Schools is dedicated to ensuring our students have the knowledge and tools to navigate this world responsibly. To achieve this, we have implemented a 1:1 Program, providing each student with a dedicated computing device to create a seamless, dynamic, and modern learning environment.

Our Strategic Goals

• Enhance & Accelerate: Boosting academic growth through interactive digital tools.

• Individualize Instruction: Tailoring teaching methods to meet the needs of every student.

• Promote Collaboration: Increasing student engagement through teamwork and digital connection.

• Build Future Skills: Ensuring every graduate is ready for the demands of the modern workforce.

Anytime, Anywhere Learning

By shifting from traditional print textbooks to digital curricula, we provide students with “anywhere, anytime” access to their education. Whether in the classroom, at home, or in the community, learning is no longer confined to a desk.

Program Details

To support this initiative, we maintain a robust wireless network across our campus and provide specific devices tailored to student age groups:

• Grades K–5: Each student is issued an iPad to foster foundational digital skills and creativity.

• Grades 6–12: Each student is issued a Chromebook to support advanced research, writing, and collaboration.

Below, parents and students can find additional resources, handbooks, and information regarding our 1:1 program

Hinckley-Finlayson Schools uses some of the most robust cases on the market to provide protection against damages. 
However, even with all these measures….accidents happen!

Don’t panic. The tech department is here to assist.

Please bring the device to the High School Media Center or HES computer lab or your teacher at FES. If possible we will backup the device and if we can repair it in our office we will. However, some repairs will need to be sent away. At that time the student will be issued a “loaner’ to use.

The iPads, Chromebooks, and  laptops are the property of the school district and on loan to the student for use. Damage to the device while in the students possession is the responsibility of the student. The cost of repairs are outlined in the Mobile Device User Agreement.
