Computers are available
​for kids to learn at home...

Questions??
Contact us at the school and we can assist.
Mr. Symanski and Ms. Allen must apply for the computer on a family/student's behalf. ​

Computers for Schools (https://www.cfsy.ca) is part of a federal government-led program that collects, repairs, and refurbishes donated surplus computers from government and private sector sources and distributes them free to students that may need help getting a low cost computer for home use.

Many of the applications that Yukon Education approves and supports don't require software to start, only a web browser and an internet connection is needed (Zoom, Google G Suite, Office 365, FreshGrade, Moodle, etc.). Yukon students have access to Microsoft licensing and can download the Office apps to up to 5 devices.

CFSY has recently received a sizable shipment of laptops that may be helpful for some students. Some have web cams, speakers, and microphones. Most have Wi-Fi/networking cards. Some laptops have French keyboards.

​Keep in mind no software, or support, will be provided by ITSS for these computers. The receiving family bears the responsibility for upgrade costs, internet connection and support. 

Costs:
The costs for students are:
  • $130.00 for the premium laptops (including Windows) (French keyboards are available)
  • $55.00 for basic laptop (including Windows)
  • $10.00 for older desktops (including monitors and Windows)
Payment:
  • Computers for schools accepts cash or e-transfers only at this time. Please contact them to make arrangements for payments.
  • Community Shipments of Computers:
  • If communities require computers to be shipped, Resource Services can help facilitate devices being shipped to the community schools.
