CHROMEBOOKS:

2024-2025 CHROMEBOOK DISTRIBUTION:

Students in grades 2-12 will need a district-issued Chromebook to access specific school content. The Technology Department manages the distribution and return of student Chromebooks. These devices must be returned at the end of each school year, and will be collected from students in class. New students will be given the Chromebook checkout agreement form for their parent/guardian's signature. Once the signed form has been returned the chromebook will be delivered to the school office. For assistance with Chromebooks during the school year, use the Tech Help Form linked above.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • Your student will be issued a Chromebook after the following criteria have been met:

    1. After registering for school.

    2. After the Chromebook checkout agreement form has been completed and signed by a parent or guardian.
