Technology for Learning

The School District of Mauston is committed to supporting students with one-to-one devices for learning. Students in grades 6-12 will be issued a chromebooks to take back and forth to school each day. Students in grades 4K-5 will be issued either a chromebook or an iPad depending on their grade. These will be housed in the classrooms and will go home with students if schools are ordered to go remote.

The District has limited numbers of hotspots to support learning at home. These will be issued to students who are learning in the virtual environment.

Students log into Chromebooks using their gmail account, firstname.lastname@students.maustonschools.org

If a student doesn't know their password, please contact the helpdesk at 608-847-5451, Ext. 4477 or email helpdesk@maustonschools.org

Chromebooks

Please treat our Chromebooks with care. The Chromebooks that were checked out are the devices that students use every day in their classrooms. When students return to school, these will be the Chromebooks that students use for learning in their classrooms. Please keep them in good shape for us:

  • Close the Chromebooks when you are carrying it from place to place

  • Use clean hands so the keys say clean

  • Keep away from liquids

  • Please leave the keys on the keyboard

  • Power the Chromebooks down every night

  • Only Charge the Chromebook when needed. Keeping them plugged in wears down the battery.
