TECHNOLOGY / DISTRICT ISSUED DEVICE

Device Distribution

While many of our students already have Chromebooks from the prior school year, devices will be distributed to new students and other students without devices.

Information for Students and Parents

All students who plan to use District technology resources (Chromebooks, computers, Google Accounts, etc.), will need to have their parents/guardians agree to the following 3 items through Registration Gateway:

• Online Accounts for Educational Resources Agreement (permission to use online accounts/COPPA)

Parents/guardians who did not agree to all three agreements during the registration process, but wish to change their answers to YES, will need to complete and sign paper forms at their home school during Schedule pickup.
