Chromebooks for Student Use
-
Chromebooks are issued at the beginning of the school year. If you have any complications, please contact our Information Services Department at 360.279.5589.
Summary of Primary Responsibilities
Students agree to the following responsibilities before, during, and after school whether they are on or off-campus.
- Use responsibly and ethically to support learning and school appropriate functions.
- Protect/secure the Chromebook (in its district-issued case) along with charging cord.
- Students should not loan their chromebook or charger to fellow students.
- Bring to school daily, full-charged.
The parent or guardian agrees to monitor student use at home, and away from school. The best way to keep students safe and on-task is to have a parent or guardian present and involved.
- Talk to your child about values and the standards that they should follow when using the internet.
- Be active participants by asking your child to show you what sites they are navigating and how they are being used in your child’s education.
- Encourage balanced and healthy digital media use.
Device Loss and Damage
If your student has misplaced their chromebook or charger, it is their responsibility to communicate with the library first and then office staff to ensure it has not been turned in. We try to provide loaner chromebooks and charging cords to students; they're provided on a first come first serve basis due to limited quantities.
The district realizes that accidents can happen. In an effort to minimize expenses to the school district and families, the grid below explains the potential costs to families in the event of damage or theft of a student device or charging cord. In addition, Oak Harbor Public Schools installs tracking software on Chromebooks.
