Chromebook Policy

At the beginning of each school year students will receive a Chromebook and charger. These devices will be collected back at the end of each school year to be cleaned and serviced. Freshman will be given a brand new chromebook at the beginning of the school year which will follow them through the four years they are in school. They will still hand in their Chromebook at the end of the school year to be cleaned and serviced.
