As part of our 1:1 Chromebook take home program, Community Outreach Academy Middle School will offer graduating eighth graders the option to purchase a Chromebook, charger, and carrying case for $50.00.
How will this work?
- To purchase a Chromebook, charger, and carrying case for $50, a student must first notify the school librarian and get a "Buy ticket."
- The student then pays $50 at the front office.
- The student will then be able to take a unit with them at the close of the school year.
- Students who do not want to keep a Chromebook, charger, and case for $50, will return all three pieces to their school at the end of finals along with your textbooks and other school materials.
- Chromebooks purchased by students will be removed from the district network and security protocols following graduation; a district login will no longer be required to use the device.
- Please note, students should observe information regarding Google/Chrome support for the Chromebook model at Google Chrome Enterprise Help Auto Update policy.
- After graduation, students will have 6 months to transfer files from school accounts to personal accounts. Instructions for Google Take Out are available at "Transfer Your Content".
Will my student be able to buy the Chromebook they have been using this year?
- Yes, Students will be able to purchase the Chromebook that they have been using throughout the year.
How will students log on to the Chromebook after graduation?
- Purchased Chromebooks will be removed from district inventory and policies following graduation in late June. A district login will no longer be required.
Will Internet filtering still be applied to the Chromebook after graduation?
- District internet filtering will no longer be applied once the device is removed from the district inventory and policies.
How will students transfer data from student/school account to their personal account?
- Information on transferring files from school accounts to personal accounts is available at "Transfer Your Content". Students who have graduated will have 6 months to transfer their data to their personal accounts.
What happens if something isn't working right in the summer?
- If district policies, login, filtering do not seem to be removed correctly from the device by July 1, students may contact the School Office at (916) 286-1908 for assistance.
