    1:1 Chromebooks

     

    All FCS students are assigned their own Chromebooks.  Chromebooks are instructional tools that are used on a daily basis.

    Having these Chromebooks is a privilege.  Each unit with case costs $350 - $400. 

    One of the biggest issues we have is with students not having Chromebooks charged, and/or a lost charger.  Just like coming to class with no notebook or pens, a dead Chromebook is useless.  We strongly encourage them to come up with a routine done nightly where they are plugged in to charge before going to bed, and then put in their backpack to bring to school in the morning.  The other issue is lost chargers and/or the stylus.  Every student received a charger and stylus when they were given their Chromebooks initially.  When they are turned in at the end of the year, we note those that did not turn in a charger or stylus.  In the past, we gave out extra chargers, but our budgets cannot afford to do that any longer.  Therefore, we may now put the responsibility of replacing a lost charger and/or stylus onto the student's family.  

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to either e-mail or call me directly and I will help you out.  Learning with devices in schools is the norm now, and they can give the students huge benefits that previously were not available.

    Thank you for your support and cooperation!
