District-Issued Devices

Mansfield ISD provides devices for students grades PreK-12 to be used for educational purposes while enrolled in our school district.

In addition to devices, all students are provided with accounts to access the district’s network and the internet to execute coursework during student learning as well as communicate and collaborate with teachers and other students. All grade levels are supplied with hot spots if an internet connectivity need is determined. Devices are issued as follows:

PreK-Grade 2: iPads
Grades 3-12: Chromebooks
STEM Students: Laptops

As a reminder, students do not need to use a district-owned device. Any device with an Internet connection can be used to access all programs and apps needed for learning.

Returning Devices

Returning a District-Issued Device

District-issued devices must be returned if there is a problem with the device, if the student no longer needs the device or if the student no longer attends an MISD school.

In addition, at the end of each school term, all district-issued devices must be turned in for necessary updates. If your device is missing, the student must review the process for lost/stolen devices.

2021 Device Collection Process

District-issued device collections will take place at the student's campus with extra collection dates June 1-2 for anyone missing their designated day. For specific collection dates and procedures, download the 2021 Device Collection Calendar.

Note: Students in grades 3-11 (unless otherwise noted) will safely keep their district-issued Chromebooks through the summer and return it in the fall.
