VVS Chromebooks

VVS Grade Levels: Grades Pre-K-12

Students in Grades Pre-K-12 are issued a 1:1 Acer Spin 11 touchscreen chromebook and charger. Students in all grade levels 2-12 are permitted and encouraged to bring their chromebooks with them to and from school. This will allow the district to transition to a remote learning environment seamlessly if there is a need for a school closure.

Families may choose to purchase their own cases for the chromebooks as well as styluses for the device. *Digital EMR pens will not work with these devices.

Please login and/or check your Chromebook a soon as possible to confirm it is working properly. If you have any issues logging in or any other issues with your Chromebook, please contact techsupport@vvsschools.org or your building main office.

Recommendations for Optional Chromebook Purchases

Case Considerations

Device Specs

  • Make: Acer

  • Models: Chromebook Spin 11 (R751T), Chromebook Spin 11 (R721T)

  • Screen Size: 11.6"

  • Please do not purchase "skins" or decals/stickers. It is in violation of the VVS Chromebook handbook to add any skins, decals, stickers, etc... to the device.

  • Younger students may do well with a case that stores both the chromebook and its charger, zips, and has a carrying handle.

Some ideas:

Stylus Recommendations

General Stylus

  • This device will not recognize a digital pen (EMR stylus).

  • You can find general styluses at reasonable prices anywhere from the Dollar Store to Amazon.

  • These styluses are highly recommended by VVS teachers and students.

Cleaning Protocols

Electronic Device Wipes

  • Students may clean their chromebook with any electronic device cleaning wipe.

  • Students are not allowed to use liquid of any kind to clean the chromebook.

Extra Charger

Acer Spin 11 Charger

  • Families are welcome to purchase an additional charger to have at home for their child's chromebook if they believe it would be easier to have one charger at home and one charger in the child's backpack for switching between in-person and remote learning.

  • Charger Specs: Max 45W, USB-C connection

Headphones

Wired or Bluetooth

  • It is highly recommended that students have a pair of their own personal headphones to use with their VVS chromebook.

  • VVS Chromebooks are compatible with wired headphones (audio jack) and bluetooth headphones.

Mouse
