Chromebooks for Students


We are providing Chromebooks to BPS students who do not have consistent access to a computer at home.
Chromebooks are being provided to:

    • Students who only have access to a mobile phone for learning at home.

    • Students who share a computer at home and often do not have access to a computer for homework.

    • Students who do not have a computer that is in working condition for online learning.

Families received an email with a link to fill out a request form on March 17.

    • After filling out the form, you will receive an email and text message to schedule an appointment.

    • Email invitations will be sent out each day as we go through grade levels, starting with high school grade levels first.

    • Distribution of Chromebooks will take place over several days. We want to make sure the process keeps everyone safe and does not create large crowds. Since we have 20,000 devices to distribute, it may take a few days to schedule an appointment.

    • If you do not receive an email for an appointment immediately, you will receive an email in the coming days for an appointment.
