Computer Order Form

Interested in ordering or borrowing a computer? Please complete the form below.

Computers are being offered to help students do their Exact Path Trophy Challenge.

To purchase a machine, the school is accepting a $40 donation.

To borrow a machine, the school requires a $60 cash deposit. At the end of the year once the laptop has been returned in working order, the $60 deposit will be returned.

Laptops are old and the batteries are spent. All the laptops work, however, they must be plugged in to operate.

Please wait to receive confirmation that your laptop is ready before coming in for it! Thank you.

Please note the following:

  1. Computers are available for all families with students in K-6th grade. Students in 7th and 8th already have iPads that they are required to take home upon which they can do the Exact Path Trophy Challenge.

  2. We are not Geek Squad. We cannot offer technical support. If a computer is issued non-functional then we can replace it with a functional machine. Beyond that we do not offer support.

  3. Machines are used (not new) and do not have web cameras.

  4. We are not allowing people to choose which machine they get.

  5. Computers are only available for a limited time.

  6. Computers have an inbuilt web filter. This does NOT MEAN however that your child is unable to use the computers offered through this program to access inappropriate content including but not limited to pornography, violence, and more. WE STRONGLY ADVISE that children are supervised when using a computer on the internet.

  7. Computers do not contain a SIM card or data connection. They only access the internet via Wifi.

  8. Computers are being sold for the purposes of children doing their Exact Path Challenge. While the computers are able to do other things, such as stream video, we are only issuing the machines for the one purpose.

  9. Computers run on a Linux operating system. The operating system is locked. We will provide buyers and borrowers with the passcode to be able to access the student portions of the device. After the computer is purchased, the owner may over-write the operating system with any OS they want, but the school will not be responsible for restoring the original OS.

  10. Computers were originally property of the US Department of Homeland Security. Da Vinci Tree Academy was donated the computers. Da Vinci Tree Academy is not selling the computers for a profit, rather, we are charging $40 to recuperate the cost of the parts and the time we had to pay our employees to rebuild each machine.

  11. Families with multiple students enrolled in K-6th may purchase or borrow up to two machines.

  12. If you would like to purchase one machine and borrow another, simply check both boxes on the order form and select “2.”
