Wayland Middle School Chromebooks
WMS Chromebook Registration
As a family, please watch the WMS Family Chromebook Orientation video to learn about the device and expectations for use. Then, fill out the Agreement form and provide payment before school starts.
2024-2025 School Year: WMS will charge a $35 Chromebook maintenance fee this year. We will reassess the need for a fee each school year.
Chromebooks will be distributed in homerooms on Wednesday, September 4th. The following steps must be completed before students can receive a device.
1) Watch the video above to learn about the Chromebook 1:1 initiative -watching this video takes the place of coming to WMS for an in-person presentation
The fee is $35 and covers all accidental damage (not negligent damage). It is optional but strongly encouraged. If you do not pay the fee then the family will be responsible for all damage, even accidental, and must sign the liability waiver. The fee also supports a subscription to the home-filtering app, Securly, that is installed on all of the Chromebooks.
----------------------------------
To receive financial assistance for the fee, families must complete an application and submit to the District Business Office. It takes approximately 3 weeks to process. If you have questions, please call the School Business Administrator at 508-358-3750. Program Overview & Application
Discounted Home Internet Access: If your child qualifies for the National School Lunch program, you may be eligible for Comcast’s Internet Essentials program that provides Internet access for less than $10 per month. Note: a wireless router is not part of the Essentials program and must be purchased separately.
You and the student will go over this information together and then fill out the google form in place of your signature. You will receive a confirmation email when completed.
4) Chromebook Case -
2024-2025 School Year: Cases will be provided to incoming 6th grade students. 7th & 8th grade students were provided cases in 6th grade and will need to purchase one, if needed. Backpacks and neoprene sleeves are not acceptable alternatives.
Each family should complete a Chromebook contract together to establish the expectations for use in the home and healthy digital habits. This does not need to be turned in to school. It is recommended to hang this contract in a communal location at home.
Vision for Use of Technology in Wayland Public Schools:
The Wayland Public Schools Community will use technology to develop skills for lifelong learning. We are committed to the meaningful and responsible integration of technology as a tool to support, enrich, extend, and personalize student learning. Through integrated learning experiences, students will develop the technology literacy needed to succeed in school and to thrive in a globally competitive world. Technology will play a vital role in teaching and learning that will promote critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, collaboration, and communication.
