Oswalt Apple 1 to 1 Roll Out Night For 5th Graders

Oswalt Academy is excited to expand its Laptop Learning Program this year to 133 incoming 5th graders on "Roll Out Night" on September 3 at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Families will come pick-up their Apple notebook computers that will provide students and their teachers with around-the-clock access to software and educational tools, where learning can take place 24/7.

The Apple Laptop Learning Program is funded by parent purchases/multi-year leasing to own programs over three years, school fundraising, and community business support. (Businesses interested in helping with student scholarships or donations, please call (626) 854-8352).

Last year 240 5th and 6th grade Oswalt students were the first to receive the computers and take part in the program. Each iMac notebook computer is pre-loaded with educational and digital authoring applications, including iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, GarageBand, iDVD, and ComicLife. Each computer also has wireless connectivity and a built-in video camera and accessibility features like text-to-voice.
