STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR THE 2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR:

ALL: Read the Chromebook, Discipline, and Social Media/Internet Use Policies located under the Chromebook Policies and Forms tab on this page.
5th Grade: Fill out this online Chromebook Policy, Insurance and Social Media Signature Page. If purchasing the optional insurance, pay the $79 fee online here which will cover the Chromebook until the end of 8th grade. This covers unintentional damage to the Chromebook for 4 years as outlined in the policy page.
6th Grade: Fill out this online Chromebook Policy, Insurance and Social Media Signature Page. If purchasing the optional insurance, pay the $59 fee online here which will cover the Chromebook until the end of 8th grade. This covers unintentional damage to the Chromebook for 3 years as outlined in the policy page.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PAY ONLINE, YOU CAN SEND CASH/CHECK with your student in an envelope marked with student name and 'Chromebook Insurance'. Checks payable to ISD 484.
Students will be able to go home with the Chromebook, protective bag, and charger once the above form is filled out and insurance (if you choose to take out insurance) is paid for. Students not taking out the optional insurance may still take Chromebooks home, provided the appropriate grade-level signature page (see above) is filled out as such. All materials are expected to be returned at the end of the school year. Chromebooks will not be going home over the weekends or holidays.
