The South Park School District’s one-to-one initiative provides every district student with a Chromebook to be used as a learning tool. As we close out the 2021-2022 school year and begin to prepare for the 2022-2023 school year, we have decided to collect all Chromebooks and district-issued charging cords prior to summer vacation. Chromebook cases will not be collected; students will be responsible for keeping those cases over the summer. Chromebook collections will be conducted during the school day according to the schedule below. Collecting all student Chromebooks and charging cords will allow our technology department to properly inspect the Chromebooks and make the necessary repairs prior to the first day of school in August.
When Chromebooks are collected, students will complete a Chromebook Condition Form or one will be completed for our youngest learners by their homeroom teachers. On that form, students/teachers will indicate whether the Chromebook needs to be repaired or does not include a charger. The first accidental repair claim for a student with a valid 2021-2022 protection plan is $0. The second accidental repair claim for a student with a valid 2021-2022 protection plan is $30. The third accidental repair claim for a student with a valid 2021-2022 protection plan is $30. If a repair needs to be made to a student’s Chromebook and that student does not have a valid 2021-2022 protection plan, the family will be invoiced the full repair/replacement cost for parts and devices prior to the Chromebook being re-issued to the student in the fall.
The collection schedule for spring 2022 is:
Grades K-4: June 1 and 2
Grades 5-8: May 31 and June 1
Grades 9-11: June 1 and 2
Grade 12: May 26 and 27
We plan to issue new Chromebooks in the fall to next year’s first, fifth and ninth grade students. All other students will be re-issued their original Chromebook in the fall, pending the inspection and any needed repairs by our technology department staff. More details about fall Chromebook distribution and 2022-2023 protection plans will be shared in early August.
If you have any questions about the Chromebook collection, please contact your school office.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work to ensure the success of the Chromebook program for the 2022-2023 school year.
