Acer Chromebooks

WCV Grade Levels: Grades 7-12

WCV students in Grades 7-12 are issued a 1:1 Acer Spin 11 touchscreen chromebook and charger. During the Fall of 2020, students in all grade levels 7-12 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 pens will not work with these devices.
