Round Rock ISD is proud to announce that we provide students with a district-issued Chromebook to promote consistency and equitable access for all of our students. Students are expected to bring their CHARGED Chromebook to school with them each day. If your child has not yet checked out a Chromebook, they can check one out from their campus.

In the 2025-2026 school year, the district expectation is that every student has a fully charged district chromebook with them each day for all of their classes.
This device will be taken home each night and brought back fully charged each day.
Students without devices receive one in the first 2 weeks of school.
Students are not allowed to use personal devices while at school as per House Bill 1481
If you already have a chromebook, please do a quick check-up on the device before school begins:
Turn it on and make sure it is working properly
Clear the cache (should be done once every few weeks)
Update Chrome - should be done once a month.
All students with a district device will need to complete this form each year, if you completed the form last year, you will still need to complete the form this year as well.
It's very exciting to a have a device of your own. But your device comes with some added responsibility for you. Let's talk about how to care for your device.

Stuff You Are Expected To Do
Stuff You Are Expected To Do
It is required that student DO NOT remove the case from their Chromebook - This will void the warranty and may incur charges for students.
It is your responsibility to bring your device to school every day.... CHARGED! So before you go to bed at night, be sure to put your Chromebook on a hard, flat surface and plug it in. And don't forget to bring it to school.
Carry your Chromebook in a padded 15" sleeve.
You will have to abide by the Student Code of Conduct and the Round Rock ISD Acceptable Use Policy. These rules are in place to keep you safe, protect our equipment, and to make sure you can enjoy using your device.
You will need to follow the rules provided by your teacher when it comes to your device. Every teacher will go over their classroom expectations and their rules for device use in their classroom. If you ever get confused...don't hesitate to ask.
Treat your device with respect and take good care of it.
Have a good time using your device to learn.
Fun Things You Can Do
Fun Things You Can Do
You can personalize your wallpaper and Chrome theme...as long as you stay within school rules for appropriateness and copyright.
You can use the built-in webcam to take a picture of yourself for your avatar! You can even use filters to make your photo look really cool. Please make sure you are following all school dress code and Code of Conduct rules when you take your photo.
You can log in and check your email, jump on HAC and check your grades, create work and store it in your Google Drive (which has UNLIMITED storage, by the way) and you can access the internet so you can do homework, research for a project, etc. You will be connecting through Round Rock ISD, so the same filters you go through at school will be active when you are at home, too.
Things You Really Shouldn't Do
Things You Really Shouldn't Do
Never give your username and password to anyone else... and students shouldn't loan out their devices to others.
Try to always use your device on a hard, flat surface. Laying your device down on a soft surface (your bed, a blanket or pillow, or a couch) can cause the device to overheat and break.
Don't eat or drink near your device. You'll be responsible for the damage if an accident happens...and we wouldn't want that.
Don't try to go around the Round Rock ISD filters, it's not allowed and you can lose your device if you do.
Don't lay anything on the keyboard - you may forget it's there and shut the lid...this could crack the screen.
Watch out for your power cord! Don't lose it, run over it, let the dog chew on it...you're going to need that power.
Be careful how you carry your device. Two hands is always the best way. If it's in your backpack, make sure you don't throw your backpack around or sit on it. Crunch!!
