Voted on by staff and approved through School Leadership Team in May 2024 for the following school year.
For Wiley students new to WSFCS:
Print, complete, and place the signed Chromebook Agreement, linked below in Mrs. Royster's box. This serves as your Chromebook AND Password order ticket.
Mrs. Royster will place your Chromebook kit with your login information in your Homeroom teacher's box when it has been delivered and prepared.
Charger will be placed in your Homeroom teacher's cart for you to charge at school each afternoon, during device exchange.
Swap your phone out each morning for your charged Chromebook in Homeroom. Phone stays in HR lock box until afternoon device exchange.
Carry your assigned Chromebook, fully charged, in the assigned case, to each class.
Return to Homeroom each afternoon for device exchange and plug your Chromebook into your assigned charging slot in your homeroom teacher's charging cart. Ten, pick up your phone from the HR lock box.
For WSFCS transfer students at Wiley:
Bring your WSFCS issued Chromebook, case, and charger to your new Homeroom teacher at the end of your 1st day at Wiley.
Plug your Chromebook in the charging cart each afternoon.
Exchange for your phone
Swap your phone out each morning for your charged Chromebook in Homeroom.
Carry your assigned Chromebook, fully charged, in the assigned case, to each class.
Return to Homeroom each afternoon for device exchange and plug your Chromebook into your assigned charging slot in your homeroom teacher's charging cart.
"What if I left my assigned WSFCS Chromebook at my old school?"
Have your school's School Library Media Coordinator contact Mrs. Royster to confirm it was checked in, or turn in a Chromebook Agreement with your name and "Transferred from....." to Mrs. Royster's box to have another device ordered from the district warehouse.
"I have a big project I need to finish. Can I take my Chromebook home?"
Each homeroom teacher as Wiley is responsible for managing their own Chromebook cart. Please have the teacher assigning the project communicate with your homeroom teacher, so you can check your device out for the nights needed. It is the student's responsibility to bring the assigned device back the next day, completely charged and in the assigned case, each time it is checked out from the Homeroom cart for overnight use.
"I don't have my Chromebook. I need a loaner."
Loaner Chromebooks no longer exist in most schools, unless the school has purchased devices in the past. Wiley has iPads assigned for Makerspace use in the library and general use as back up for required WIDA assessments and state assessments. Wiley does not have loaner devices. District level enrollment did not increase, so new devices were not purchased by the district for schools. Schools have been instructed to keep Chromebook inventory accurate. See district level technology updates, below.

Any new middle/high school student to WS/FCS participating in the 1:1 program.
All 6th grade students participating in the 1:1 program (receiving a WS/FCS Chromebook to take home). This is because 5th doesn’t participate in take-home any longer.

Is my Chromebook repair ready to pick up, yet?
The teacher who submitted the repair ticket online will have a TSK- #### receipt sent to their email three times.
Shows repair ticket was received and placed on the list for technician to pick up and make repairs.
Shows the repair has been prioritized and will be completed.
Shows the repair has been completed, who repaired it, and what they did.
Repairs are usually delivered back to the school by the afternoon completed or the morning after completed.
As a courtesy, Mrs. Royster keeps the following shared slide updated as often as possible. Please check your email for TSK-### notices, before sending students down to check. PLEASE send students down to pick up repairs no later than one day after the third TSK notice is sent to your email.
NEW Technician Request January 2025: Place the TSK### on the device before having students bring the repair to the pick up bin in the library. This will speed up return time.
Staff, please help students follow this procedure. Thank you for partnership in device management.
Where did you have it last?
CHECK THERE!
ASK THAT TEACHER!
Check all of your classrooms.
Check the front office “Lost & Found”.
If you STILL can’t find it, have your teachers help you report it lost at this link. https://bit.ly/LOSTcb
IF someone else has logged in to your Chromebook, Mrs. Royster will lock it. If you were the last to log in, you still need to search.
Teachers, please follow up and investigate based on the facts found in this spreadsheet. https://bit.ly/LOSTcbUPDATES
Thank you for your patience while Mrs. Royster looks these up and updates the spreadsheet during WISE Time, in between service cases.
Place the TSK-# from the 1st confirmation email on the student's broken device before having them bring it to the "To be repaired" bin in the library.
IMPORTANT Device Repair Procedure Reminder:
Student must bring labeled device to "To be repaired" bin in the library as soon as the ticket has been submitted. Technician schedules must remain flexible to accommodate multiple schools. Devices not found at pick up location when technician arrives, will not be repaired.
Please do not allow students to "borrow" an absent student's device! If we follow established procedures, device repairs should not take more than 1-2 school days.
Make accommodations with printed assignments for students who have broken devices out for repairs.
Send invoices home for repeat or deliberate damages that day, and ensure parents know to pay charges on line. https://bit.ly/wileyfees
