Students in grades 1-12 have access to a district-issued Chromebook to use for school.
- Grades 1-3: Chromebooks remain at school for classroom use.
- Grades 4-12: Starting in grade 4, students will be issued a Chromebook for three years. They will be exchanged at the end of the school year in 6th grade and again in 9th grade, then returned in 12th grade. Other than these exchange times, students will retain the same Chromebook during the school year and summer.
Chromebook Agreement
During online registration, families with students in grades 4-12 will be asked to complete a Chromebook Agreement and will have the option to purchase Chromebook insurance for $25.
- We strongly encourage 4th-12th grade families to purchase this insurance because students in these grades will be taking Chromebooks to and from school each day.
- Chromebook insurance can only be purchased during registration and cannot be purchased once the school year begins.
- Families with students entering 1st-3rd grade do not need to purchase Chromebook insurance because students in these grades will only use a Chromebook at school.
- Families who wish to opt-out of the Chromebook program in grades 4-12 will need to provide their own device to be used at school and home.
Learn more on the Chromebook Program page.
