Chromebooks

Chromebook Quick Facts

Chromebooks seamlessly integrate with the G Suite platform (formally known as Google Apps for Education). This suite of productivity and collaboration tools includes Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Drawings, Forms, etc.
Send mail, edit photos, create documents — do all of these activities in the browser, thanks to thousands of apps on the web. There’s no complicated software to install.
Everything -- your apps, documents, settings -- are all stored safely in the Cloud and not on the device. Student work can be accessed from any computer or mobile device with an Internet connection.
All students will be issued a WCSD Chromebook. There is no option this year for bringing your own device.
Chromebooks will be collected at the end of the school year or when students withdraw. Upon return of the Chromebooks, students are expected to pay for all damages or losses.
There are no school issued cases for the devices this year. We suggest purchasing a protective case or sleeve for the Chromebook.
Parents/guardians can purchase a usage and protection plan which allows students to take home the Chromebook and reduces the cost of any repairs.

Optional Protection Plan

The Student Optional Protection Plan (OPP) cost this year is $20.00.
Students/guardians are encouraged to pay through www.mypaymentsplus.com.
Once the payment has been made, please print the receipt and bring it to your advisor.
If the OPP is not paid, students cannot take home a Chromebook. They will be able to borrow one from the Media Center during the school day.
Students who do NOT pay for the protection plan will be responsible for the FULL COST of the Chromebook repair or replacement.
Severity of damage and necessity of repair are ultimately determined by the media specialists.
