The Big Picture

How It Works

1. You start with the Big Picture on pg 2 to understand where and how

your child fits into the Student Laptop Program.

2. You review the program details and the two laptop purchase plans (see

pg 4 and 5).

3. You review the “Configure My Laptop” plan on pg 6.

4. You compare all available plans on pg 7.

5. You sign up for a plan of your choice (no later than November 30, 2009)

using the web form or the paper form.

6. For Laptop Purchase Plan, Woodstock procures the laptop and

configures it for school use. Your child receives their ready-to-connect

laptop when they return for Spring 2010 semester on February 8, 2010.

The school charges the laptop purchase (and the one-time set up fee) to

your Woodstock account.

7. For Configure-My-Laptop Plan, your child drops their laptop off for

configuration after they return for Spring semester (in Feb 2010). Your

child receives their ready-to-connect laptop by March 15, 2010.

a Windows-based laptop which is less than 12-months old. For a one-time

set up fee of Rs. 5,000/- we will configure your laptop and make it ready-to-

connect to the school network.
