The term 1:1 (one-to-one) is the principle that each student will have an e-learning device specifically for their use.  All students within Culpeper County Public Schools will be provided a Dell Chromebook to use at school and home.  We have made this selection as our preferred device on the grounds it works well with our division Google Suite.  In addition, the division has incorporated these devices throughout to improve student familiarity.  It also supports our Google classroom and Gmail initiatives.
