Student One-to-One Laptop Program for Grades 5 - 12
The Manasquan School District is excited to continue our Student Mobile Technology Initiative this year. This year, the district will be providing a Dell device to students in grades 5-12 as part of our digital learning initiative aimed at preparing students for college and careers in the 21st century. In this program, each student will be issued a device for the duration of the school year which they will be expected to bring to all classes but may also take home.

Device Distribution for 2024-25
Early laptop pick-ups for grade 5-12 students have now concluded. Students may still get their laptops for the beginning of the school year on:
- Thursday, 9/5: 12:00pm - 1:00pm
- Friday, 9/6: 2:30pm - 3:30pm
(High School students may also get laptops during unit lunch on Friday, 9/6.)
All pick-ups will occur in the high school media center for students of both schools.
Parents should be sure to follow the three easy steps here to complete the required forms BEFORE their child comes to pick-up their laptop.
1. Parent Completes the "Student Laptop Agreement & Use Fee" Form in the Parent Portal
- Parent* must login to the Parent Portal and select the "Student Laptop Agreement & Use Fee" form under the Forms tab.
(* Students cannot access this form from their account.) - Complete, electronically sign, and submit the form.
- Alternatively, you can print, complete, sign and bring the printable form to your pickup.
2. Pay the Technology Use Fee Online (optional)
Students and parents have the option to pay a $60 technology use fee which, if paid, will cover the fine for first-time accidental damage of the device and/or its peripherals. See the details under the Technology Use Fee section below.
- To pay the optional technology use fee online, go to PaySchools Central and login or create a new account.
(To create an account, you will need your child's Manasquan Student ID, First Name, and Last Name exactly as it appears in our system. You can confirm these in the Parent Portal.) - After you have logged in and linked your child to your account, navigate to the Dashboard.
- Under your selected child's Fees section, add the "Technology Use Fee 2024-25 SY" $60 fee to your cart.
- If you have multiple children and wish to pay all of their fees, you can link all of them and add each fee to the cart before checking out.
- Once your cart is complete, go to the Cart and 'Checkout.'
- You can pay with a credit or debit card or checking account transfer.
Online payments are subject to a convenience charge of $1.95 per checking account transfer or 4.0% for a debit or credit card payment. - Once your payment is made, a record of the transaction will be displayed in your Parent Portal Fees & Fines tab.
- Alternatively, you can bring a cash or check (payable to Manasquan School District) payment to your pickup.
3. Pick-Up Your Laptop
- The pickup process should take about 10 minutes.
- Parents can pick up the laptop for the student without the student present but must complete the initial sign-in with the student’s password. If your child had a Manasquan account prior to this school year, be sure to obtain it from them first. Otherwise, we will need to reset the password for the parent to be able to login during the pick-up appointment.
Pick-Up Location (MHS Media Center) & Building Entry
Laptop Pick-Ups will all take place in the high school media center. Please enter the media center from either MHS Door #3 (near tennis courts) or Door #4 (across from field house) as shown on the map below. Parking is available from the Atlantic Avenue entrance to the high school on the south end of the building, to the rear of the building, or on Atlantic Avenue itself.
Please do not use any other MHS entrances for laptop pick-up.
