at the Glenn

Greenville County Schools has issued students grades 4K-12 with a Chromebook. These devices are part of the Personalized Learning Initiative where instruction is aligned to students learning needs, tailored for various learning preferences and student's specific interest and co-designed by students to set learning goals, planning learning paths, tracking progress and demonstrating learning.

The Details:

Lenovo Chromebooks come with a case which will be refreshed every two years. There is no need to purchase a case. The case must remain on for the warranty to stay valid.

TECHNOLOGY FEE

Not collecting during 2020-2021 School Year

An annual technology fee will need to be paid before your student can take the Chromebook home. There is no need to pay again if a student transfers schools in the same year.

The fee is required to cover accidental damage by the student to the

device only, NOT the charger or any other accessories. This fee does NOT cover lost

Chromebooks. This technology fee may be paid by cash or check made payable to Brook Glenn Elementary

Students who do not pay the fee will still have access to the Chromebook at school, but will not be allowed to take it home.
