Chromebook Procedures
Kindergarten
Kindergarten students will have access to classroom devices to use while at school.
1st-4th Grade
Students will have access to devices to use while at school. Take home devices provided in previous years can remain at home but they will not be repaired if broken.
5th-12th Grade
Students will be assigned a "backpack" device. Students will be expected to bring their device to and from school fully charged.
Students will have the same device assigned to them for four years - so take good care of it!
-
Students and parents/guardians must read, sign and return the last page of the KPS Student Acceptable Use Agreement before receiving their Chromebook.
-
5th - 12th grade backpack devices should be charged nightly to allow for usage throughout the day. There will not be an opportunity to charge the Chromebook during the school day.
-
If a 5th -12th grade student leaves their Chromebook at home repeatedly, it may result in a loss of take-home privileges or other consequences
Technology Damage/Loss Procedures (1st-12th Grade)
Care of all instructional materials, including Chromebooks, distributed by KPS is the responsibility of the student to which they are assigned and the parent/guardian. This includes costs associated with damages and loss or theft. (KPS Board Policy 7.13 Care of District Property)
If accidental damage occurs, families will be charged a $20 fee to cover some of the repair costs. Students will be provided with a loaner until their device is repaired or replaced. Subsequent accidental repairs/replacements will require the parent/guardian to pay for all damage to the device.
The following repairs/replacements will require full repair/replacement costs:
-
Dishonest and/or intentional acts, vandalism

Tampering with or unauthorized attempts to repair the device

Unexplained loss or mysterious disappearance
