Chromebook Program
Since 2016, each student in grades K-12 receive a school-issued Chromebook as part of their curricular materials for the school year. The Chromebook is issued to
the student in the same way textbooks are rented from the school corporation. The student keeps their school-issued Chromebook for up to four years or until graduation, whichever comes first.
Current Student Chromebooks:
Chromebooks are simple, secure, and shareable devices that educators and students can use to create and collaborate together. They also provide a variety of apps/extensions, online file storage, and automatic updates. In addition, Chromebooks are much more cost-effective compared to other types of devices.
Chromebook Agreement Policy
Students are allowed to take Chromebooks home for use on homework and virtual learning assignments. All devices will be monitored and the web content will be filtered, both at school and when taken home. Students are responsible for the care and upkeep of the device, which includes ensuring the Chromebook is charged nightly and is ready for use at school each morning. All students receive a Chromebook, charger, and protective carrying work-in case that is to be used at all times.
In addition to the provisions of the South Central Responsible Use Policy, the following additional items apply to students participating in the 1:1 Chromebook program:
School-issued Chromebooks are to be repaired by the technology department only. Any attempt to modify, reconfigure, or repair the Chromebook is prohibited unless permission is given by the department. Students/parents/guardians are financially accountable for repairs due to damage, loss, or theft of the device.
To pay an invoice, please bring cash or a check (made to South Central Schools) to the office labeled with the student's name. No online payments are accepted at this time.
Insurance Options
South Central Community School Corporation does not currently offer an insurance policy for Chromebooks, however, purchasing device insurance is optional. We recommend contacting your insurance company and/or other third-party insurers to inquire about the policies they offer.
