Chromebook Initiative

A Chromebook is a personal laptop running Chrome OS as its operating system. The devices are designed to be used while connected to the Internet and support applications that run within a browser, rather than traditional applications that reside on the machine itself.

Chromebooks are distributed at the beginning of each school year. Check your school's announcements for details.

Yes! Students are responsible for bringing their Chromebook to school, fully charged, each day. While not required, we recommend transporting your Chromebook in a padded sleeve or protective pouch in your backpack.

Chromebooks are a tool for learning. If you forget it, like homework, you will miss out on important classroom opportunities. Each school will have a limited amount of loaner devices available for daily checked out.

Common charging stations are available in each school. Charging cables are not available to borrow.

Students are responsible for any damage to their Chromebook. If your Chromebook becomes damaged, it should be returned to your school's tech office for repair and a loaner device will be provided while it is being repaired. Repair/replacement costs are listed in the SAU41 Chromebook Policy Agreement.

Please refer to this link for instructions on how to work on your assignments (Google docs, sheets, slides) while not connected to the Internet.

Our 1:1 initiative provides a common experience for all students. While personal devices are not prohibited, they are not supported on our Chromebook network.
