This morning your child received their school-issued Chromebook. Each Chromebook has a specific serial number assigned to your child.
Students had a short amount of time this morning to log into their computer; some may also opt to bring them home today to begin familiarizing themselves with how to navigate the various programs.
We ask that all 6th grade parents take some time this evening to speak with your child about the conduct agreement that they (and you – as their parent/guardian) signed at the beginning of the school year. We also suggest another review of the Chromebook rules we discussed at the parent meeting (i.e. Chromebooks must come to school charged each day, be cared for appropriately at home, used for school-related purposes only, etc.).
Similarly, if you have not already done so, you should remind your child that teachers, administration, and other faculty members will be monitoring their Chromebook activity (both in and out of school) and will receive alerts if a student tries to utilize this school-issued tool in a manner inconsistent with our policies. Please know, there will be serious consequences for students who chose not to comply with the agreed-upon technology rules.
Thank you for your support in helping us ensure our students are well-prepared for success in high school and beyond.

Setting Up a Printer on the Chromebook
/in Uncategorized /by jonesenAttention 6th – 8th Grade Parents,
Attached are the instructions we sent out a while back on adding your home WiFi printer to your child’s Chromebook: Chromebook Printer Set-Up
We also have a great video from 8th Grade student Ryan Barry that shows you how to add a “Cloud-Ready” printer to the Chromebook (if you are unsure if your printer is cloud-ready, look for your printer HERE): https://youtu.be/ZehBpsrjHyg
If you do not have a “Cloud-Ready” printer but have a printer that you can print to through WiFi, this video will be helpful for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53Qkw-9OHIQ
