Device Safety During Summer Learning: A Guide for Schools and Parents

Keep tech protected and ready wherever summer takes you. The school year has officially wrapped, and now devices are shifting from classrooms to summer programs, tutoring sessions, and tech-integrated camps. Whether your district collected devices for storage or students are using them in the field, the need for protection doesn’t pause for summer. At Higher Ground, we know that keeping technology safe and functional year-round is key not just for students but for the administrators and IT teams supporting them. Let’s take a look at what that means this summer.

Storing Devices Right: A Mid-Summer Reminder

For districts that collected laptops and cases at the end of the year, now is a great time to ensure proper storage procedures were followed. Dirty or poorly stored gear can lead to damage, mold, and costly repairs down the line.

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out our blog from last summer, where we shared best practices for:

  • Cleaning cases and backpacks to remove bacteria and grime
  • Allowing proper airflow to prevent mildew or warping
  • Using storage systems that prevent crushing or case deformation
  • Organizing devices for quick, efficient redeployment in the fall

Clean, dry, and well-organized storage now can save hours (and dollars) when back-to-school season rolls around.

Keeping Devices Safe in Summer Programs

For many districts and families, devices didn’t get stored away, they’re now out in the wild, supporting summer learning programs, enrichment camps, and student travel. And when learning goes mobile, your protection plan has to go with it.

Here are three go-to solutions built to handle summer learning environments:
