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. Jeffco's Tech for Ed program provides enough Chromebooks for Kindergarten students at a ratio of 3:1, but these stay at the school, and we use a combination of those and school owned devices for 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 loaner device to use while their primary device is being repaired.
