Chromebooks

Chromebooks are available for use for all students. The proper use and care of the Chromebook is the responsibility of the student and, ultimately, the parent. All students will be taught the proper use and handling of the Chromebooks. Chromebooks will be assigned to students on an annual basis in early elementary grades and on a multi-year basis for upper grades. It is in the best interest of the student to take good care of the Chromebook assigned to them. This will lead to the best user experience for the student and the most reliable and longest life for the device.

Here is a link to a document addressing the proper Chromebook use and care.
