As part of Jeffco's Tech for Ed program, students in grades 1 and 5 will receive a new 300e Lenovo Chromebook to use for four years, taking back and forth between school and home. At Leawood, all students in grades 1-5 have Tech for Ed devices provided by the district, and students in Kindergarten have devices purchased by our school. For the 2024/25 school year, the district Tech for Ed program will be providing enough Chromebooks for Kindergarten students at a ratio of 3:1, but these will stay at the school, and we will used school owned devices if we need a whole class set. The Tech for Ed devices come with a warranty for repairs.
In class, we will spend a great deal of time discussing appropriate care and use of this device, including Digital Citizenship lessons to teach students how to be safe and smart online.
Students are expected to return the device FULLY CHARGED each day to be ready for learning. Please help your student find a place at home to safely charge the Chromebook each evening. If a charger is lost or damaged, please reach out to Margarita Russell, our financial secretary. She will order the proper charger and place the fee on your student's Infinite Campus account. Replacement chargers are $27.
Any loss or damage should be reported immediately. Our IT department will complete all necessary repairs, and your student will be assigned a different device to use.
