Why Chromebooks:
Cost: Reasonably priced
Portability: Size of the device allows for comfortable visibility and minimal weight in backpacks
Durability: Rugged enough for daily student use
Battery longevity: 11 hours
Usage: Supports and facilitates use of G-Suite for Education
Each year the district re-negotiates our contracts with our vendors to ensure proper use of taxpayer dollars. All incoming students in the same graduating class will receive the same Chromebook model as their class peers; however, there may be different models from one graduating class to another (see below). Chromebooks will come with a district-provided protective case.
Web Filtering
As part of the Colorado Internet Safety & Digital Responsibility initiative, Jeffco is required to provide a safe and secure internet environment for students to work in and learn. Jeffco uses Securly, which provides web filtering support at home (or on other public Wifi networks) for district Chromebook and iPad devices. Securly is activated once a student logs into their device using their district Google logins. For more information, visit Jeffco's Web Filtering page.
