1:1 Chromebook Initiative Overview

The focus of the USD 261 one-to-one (1:1) Chromebook initiative is to prepare students for their future in a world of digital technology and information. As we navigate the 21st century, excellence in education requires that technology be readily available and seamlessly integrated throughout the educational program. The 1:1 Chromebook initiative provides students with a personal device to explore and utilize educational resources such as accessing class content and textbooks online to collaborating with classmates and teachers from both inside and outside the classroom. It also helps by providing our students with the skills to work digitally, collaborate meaningfully, and communicate in connected, real-world ways. Haysville Public Schools strive to use the latest technology to enhance student learning, engagement, and achievement.

Grades 6 - 8

Haysville USD 261 is thrilled to announce that we will begin the 1:1 Chromebook initiative at the middle level for the 2020 - 21 school year. Haysville West and Haysville Middle School student's, grades 6-8, will be issued a Chromebook, protective case, and a power adapter to utilize at school and at home while enrolled at HWMS and HMS.

Grades 9 - 12

We will continue to prepare our students with 21st century trends in education with the 1:1 Chromebook program at the high school. Campus High and Haysville High School's began the 1:1 Chromebook initiative in the Fall of 2019. Chromebooks are available for each student in Grades 9-12 to use for learning at school and home while enrolled at CHS or HHS.

We are excited about the opportunities for our students and staff as we begin our second year with Chromebooks for grades 9-12, and our first year with grades 6 - 8. We know our teachers and students will find new apps, new lessons, and new discoveries as they prepare for tomorrow’s opportunities.
