District news
District starts 1:1 Chromebooks; incoming 7th graders get a device
What happened
An August 2026 district letter says all incoming 7th graders will be issued an HP Chromebook to use at school and at home in 2026-27. The district web page describes the program for grades 7 to 12. Parents must read the device policy and sign an agreement before a device is issued.
Why it matters to families
Students would take a school device home, and families take on rules for care, damage and loss. The device policy lists a replacement price list.
The evidence
The letter to families (August 2026) and the 2026-27 student device policy describe the program and the required agreement. The grade range differs between the letter and the web page. Date shown is August 3, 2026, when the letter says the device forms open; the letter itself is dated only August 2026.
