Chromebook Distribution for 2023-2024


This document contains important information regarding our plans to distribute Chromebooks to students for the 2023-2024 school year. Currently, all students have access to a Chromebook in each of their core classes. We will distribute a Chromebook individually to those who paid after testing and receipt of funds and property use agreements.  

Do I have to check out a school Chromebook or can I use a personal laptop?

You do not have to check out a school device, however we do strongly suggest checking out a school issued device. Everything your student needs for school is preloaded and set up on the school device. Personal devices do not always connect easily to the school wi-fi. If you DO NOT wish to check out a school device , please complete the Opt Out form by clicking the link below.
