Chromebook Help Desk

So, what's up with the technology fee and one to one chromebooks, you ask? Your $25 technology fee helps RCSD keep the cost of repairs low. If you break a school device, the first time co-pay is only $25. Screen replacement normally costs about $80, so this represents significant savings. If your student has been bringing their own device, we encourage you to switch over to a school issued chromebook. Not only will your repair costs be lower, but there will be fewer network connection errors and application compatibility issues.

The tech fee will also be used to help improve network speeds and technology upgrades for our district. Our google classroom platform is used by all students, not just our virtual ones, so all students need a device. Using a phone to complete classwork is just too tedious in the long-term. Because of distractions, phones are not allowed in RCHS classrooms.

Our bring your own device policy is a temporary fix for the lack of chromebooks experienced due to supply chain issues this year. Since the use of a school chromebook is included in the $25 technology fee, all students should get one. Please read the acceptable use policies and visit our Student and Parent Technology Resources website, linked below. For more information contact the RCSD Technology Department.
