Reimage

I have created a Netboot image that will reimage my MacAir's from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. That is about the extent of my abilities.
These computers are 2013 MacBook Airs and am running JSS Version 9.31
I will be giving the same computers back to the same students next fall. If possible I would love to be able to create a unique user account on each machine referencing the students name, rename the computer with the same name it had before imaging, when joined back to JSS have the students LDAP information repopulate the User and Location information in Inventory.
These machines are not joined to AD but each student has an AD Account.
Of course I will be reapplying software packages during the imaging process.
Advice upon this process would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a reason you are reimaging the machines just to upgrade them? I would look into createOSXinstallPKG for creaking a deployable OS X upgrade package https://code.google.com/p/munki/wiki/InstallingOSX. If you do want to reimage but want the applications delivered by Casper to come back then you can use Autorun.
