Chromebook Policy

Students in grades 6-12 will be provided with a district-issued Chromebook for the 2025-26 school year.  Chromebooks provide a solid base for a one-to-one learning environment in a cost effective manner.

Taking Care of Your Chromebook

Students are responsible for the general care of the Chromebook they have been issued by the school. Chromebooks that are broken or fail to work properly must be taken to the technology office for inspection. Loaner Chromebooks will be issued to students through the technology office or the library when necessary.

Return

Any student who transfers out of Pierson Middle/High School is required to return their Chromebook and accessories. This includes graduating students as well. If a Chromebook and accessories are not returned, the parent/guardian will be held responsible for payment in full.

Using Your Chromebook

At School:
Teacher expectations for Chromebook use, school messages, announcements, calendars, academic/student handbooks can be accessed using the Chromebook.

At Home:
All students are required to take their Chromebook home each night for charging, so that they are operational each day school is in session.
