Most students find that the biggest challenge with their Chromebook is remembering to bring them back to school charged and ready for use each day. It is expected that you have your charged Chromebook with you each day to be used in class - without it, you may end up having to work on in-class assignments on your own time while at home.
You will check out a Chromebook, a charging cable, and a Chromebook cover. The Chromebook cover should remain on your Chromebook to protect it from damage.
In 2018, our community voted to support a four-year technology levy that will provide a digital device to every student in the district by the year 2022. They renewed our committment to technology in the 2022 Levy as well. Students should come to middle school with the Chromebook issued to them in elementary school. If you are new to the district, you will be issued a Chromebook in the first few days of school.
As we assign Chromebooks to middle and high school students, we require that parents login at ps.ksd.org/public/ and follow instructions on how to login, create an account and electronically sign a permission form.
As part of the permission form, parents have the option of allowing their child to take their assigned Chromebook home or keep it at school and have it checked in/out each school day. Additional information about student use expectations, safety, and care are included in the One-To-One Responsibilities Manual that parents will review prior to signing the permission form.
