When a School-Issued Laptop Leaves Our Management
A school-issued laptop will be removed from SAES management controls when:
It is retired from our 1:1 program, or
Your student leaves/graduates and chooses to purchase it.
Prior to July 1:
Families can initiate this process by following these instructions.
After July 1:
Once a laptop is no longer managed by SAES, it must be completely erased to remove our controls. This process does not require bringing the device to school.
To erase and reinstall macOS on a Mac with Apple silicon:
Start up from macOS Recovery.
Use Disk Utility to erase the Mac.
AppleCare can guide you through the process over the phone or via chat.
Before erasing:
Be sure to copy any files your student wants to retain to Google Drive or another device. Graduating students retain access to their Google-backed SAES account for up to five years. Students leaving SAES before graduation have their accounts suspended.
