1:1 Chromebook Initiative:
It is exciting that we've embarked on a 1:1 Chromebook initiative in our district. We ask teachers and students to be patient as we roll-out the Chromebooks into each of the schools. Our plans for distribution are listed by each school below.General Information
Students will be issued their own Chromebook. Students will use their WWPS Google Apps account to log into the Chromebook. When students log in for the first time on a brand new Chromebook they should use Ctrl-Alt-E when they get to the email log-in page. This will connect the student's account to the serial number for their individual Chromebook. Each student's Chromebook will have two stickers placed on the Chromebook. Each sticker will contain the student's name, their Google account, and their student ID. One sticker will be placed to the right of the track pad, and one will be place on the outside lid. The third sticker will be placed on the AC adapter.Students should get a case for their Chromebook. Students SHOULD NOT put their Chromebook in their backpack with books, water bottles etc. The Chromebooks screens will crack if any pressure is put on the front cover. Please be careful with your Chromebook. The school district has purchased replacement screens for less than 1% of the total number of Chromebooks.
West Warwick High School
Chromebooks will be distributed to students in 9th grade before school begins on Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Students will also be able to pick-up Chromebooks after school from 1:45 - 2:15 pm. Students must have their parents sign the following policy statements, before they will be issued a Chromebook:
Students that are in grades 10-12 will receive their Chromebooks during Advisory period. Students will not be issued a Chromebook until their parents/guardians have signed the policies listed above. Unfortunately it will be difficult to manage HS student Chromebooks for students that do not get the policy paperwork signed. Once we have a clearer understanding of the total number of parents that do not sign the paperwork we will devise the appropriate solution at the HS level.Deering Middle School
Student Chromebooks will be distributed to student core classrooms during the first week of school. Students and teachers will be able to request assistance from the WWPS IT team, or receive assistance from HS student helpers. Teachers can also follow these directions to enroll their students, and their Chromebooks.
Student Chromebooks should be stored in their homeroom classroom. Teachers can use any method of storing their student Chromebooks. Student will not be able to take their Chromebooks home until the WWPS Technology Take Home Policy is signed by the student and their parent/guardian. If parent/guardians do not allow their student to bring their Chromebooks home then the Chromebook will be stored in the classroom.
