Device Loan Program

Herkimer CSD recognizes that learning doesn’t only take place in the classroom anymore. Therefore, we are making devices available to students to borrow so that they may continue learning.

Students who wish to borrow a Chromebook may do so. They can take the device home with them to use for their school needs.

By borrowing a device from Herkimer CSD, you assume responsibility for it. That means that you are responsible for taking care of the device as you would your own.

Students and families who borrow devices, will need to return them (in good working condition) to the district when regular classes resume.
