CMS strongly discourages students from using a computer device that is not issued by the school district while in remote or the Hybrid learning mode. CMS is providing Chromebooks/computing devices along with a framework of filters, and other technology support systems for students. Here is a quick overview of our reasons for strongly recommending the use of an CMS issued technology device for this coming school year:

a) If every student is using the same equipment, it is easier for the teacher to help troubleshoot and support students from home.

b) We have all the necessary programs and settings set up on the Chromebook for your student including any software for standardized tests, etc.

c) Your student will be using the SAME Chromebook all year regardless of “in-school instruction" "hybrid" vs. "100% online" instruction. No sharing of equipment.

d) If we return to our "brick and mortar" building, your student will use the Chromebook at home and at school. They will not have to bring a personal laptop to a school setting and worry about theft, damage, etc.

e) Because of standardization, our Technology department is able to troubleshoot, replace, and repair all CMS equipment quickly and efficiently.

f) We cannot support personal devices in case of technical issues.

g) The CMS Chromebooks have a filter in place to protect your child and the teacher has software to monitor activity and share their screens and interact with every student.

You can schedule a time to pick up a device by making an appointment with the school principal.
