I already have a device. Can I have my student bring that to school instead of using the one from the District?

What happens when my student leaves Hutch?

For 2019/20 5th Graders:

Can students print from a Chromebook?

• Yes, at school and at home when using a Google Cloud Printer.

Can a Chromebook be used offline?

I don't want to purchase the device the school is offering. Which type of device would the school prefer I purchase if I choose to go out and buy one?

My student is on free and reduced lunch, do I still have to pay?
