Preparation and Use. A charging cord will be issued with the Chromebook. Each student is expected to bring a fully charged Chromebook to school every day and bring his/her Chromebook to all classes unless specifically advised not to do so by the teacher. School staff will monitor student usage when students are at school. In addition to teacher expectations for Chromebook use, students will be accessing curriculum information and content-appropriate online information in all classes. Any strategy used to circumvent security settings and filtering technologies including removing the device from the domain is a violation of this policy. External removable devices are prohibited, including USB drives and flash drives.

Chromebooks must be brought to school each day in a fully charged condition. If fully charged at home, the battery will last throughout the day. Repeatedly leaving the Chromebook at home may result in referral to administration and possible disciplinary action. Parents are responsible for monitoring their child’s use of the Chromebook when accessing programs from home. Some sites may be blocked even at home since they are filtered by our System. STPSB makes significant effort to filter objectionable content, but we recommend that parents and guardians remain diligent in observing student behavior when using these devices outside of school. Remember, the Chromebook is an educational tool and should still be considered and used for Educational Purposes only. Some applications can be used while not connected to the Internet. Students are bound by STPSB policies and all other guidelines in this document wherever they use their Chromebooks.
