My child already owns a learning device. Do I still have to opt-in purchase of the PLD?

We strongly encourage parents to purchase the school’s PLD, as we would like your child/ward to benefit from the same learning experience and platform as their peers. This includes the 3-year warranty and 3-year insurance coverage of the PLD during their education years in BBSS.
For devices not purchased through the school, the school will verify that the device has the same OS as the school-prescribed PLD and is compatible with the DMA before approving it as an alternative to the school-prescribed PLD. Parents will be required to consent to the installation of the DMA, and the DMA must be installed in the non-prescribed device, before it can be used in school in lieu of the school-prescribed PLD.
