Frequently asked questions regarding Chromebooks being returned for the 2025-26 School Year
At the end of the 2025-26 school year all 7th and 8th graders returned their Chromebooks, stylus, and chargers to the Learning Commons.
As devices were returned they were inspected for damage and missing items by a member of the district Technology Team. Any appropriate fees were applied so be sure to check your student/parent Aeries account under Other > Fees & Fines for any balance you may owe.
8th graders moving on to high school will receive a Chromebook at the beginning of the school year at their new school. Rising 7th graders, incoming 6th graders, and students who are new to the district will receive a Chromebook in the fall from Oak Crest when school resumes. Stay tuned for more information on Chromebook distribution.
