One to One Chromebook Program
-
Clifton is proud to offer our students the opportunity to learn with the aid of a Google Chromebook. These devices offer the students the opportunity to practice real-world technology skills while applying research, literacy, collaboration, and critical thinking skills to their learning. While integrating technology in their day-to-day lives, students will improve their educational outcomes.
Expectations and Responsibilities
The One-to-One program is intended to be used only for instructional purposes. The following expectations and responsibilities are required to ensure the successful use of the device:
- The Chromebook should be available for all classes. Failure to bring the device to class or to not have it charged may result in the loss of grades for preparedness or participation.
- Students must adhere to the district Acceptable Use Policy 2361 at all times. Faculty and administration will have access to search and view all content on the device whether on premises or not (in order to comply with the Children’s Internet Protection Act).
- Students should only handle their own assigned Chromebook and should not use any other device unless assigned a spare by the district. Use of another student’s device will be considered a breach of the Acceptable Use Policy.
- Use of the device during class is always up to the teacher based upon their instructional need.
- Teachers are not responsible for troubleshooting your Chromebook. If you have a technical issue, please visit the Media Center or main office for help.
Any inappropriate use of your Chromebook may result in disciplinary action. Refer to district policies 2361 (Acceptable Use) and 5516 (Electronic Communication and Recording Devices) for more information.
Costs
Although Chromebooks remain the property of the Board of Education, the student is responsible for their care. All damages will be assessed as necessary. Students will also be required to pay damages or for a lost device. In the event of a damaged or missing device, the district should be notified immediately. Please report lost devices to the media center or main office. Your child’s final report card will be withheld and access to the Student/Parent Portal will be blocked because of unfulfilled financial obligations. This includes unreturned Chromebooks, as well as returned checks. Portals will remain blocked until these obligations are satisfied. If the student is a senior and obligations are not fulfilled by the end of the school year, he/she will not be allowed to participate in graduation ceremonies. The following is a price list with ESTIMATES for any repairs needed:
- Partial Damage = $80
- Full Damage or Lost Device = $300
- Charger = $40
