5K-4th Grade
1:1 chromebooks are assigned to students in 5K - 4th grade. Chromebooks assigned to students in 5K- 4th grade will remain at school unless student checks out assigned chromebook for virtual learning .
5th-8th Grade
Whether to purchase or lease the chromebook is really a personal preference. ALL students will receive a brand new device regardless of choice to use for 5th -8th grade. Most who choose to purchase a chromebook like the idea that the device goes home with the student over the summers, and then when the student leaves LCS we factory reset the chromebook for the student to take with them. Leased devices are stored at school over the summer and returned to the student in September.
Please note that if you start out leasing a chromebook and change your mind, we can accommodate that choice and will only charge the difference for the device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my child use a device from home? The chromebooks issued to students for use are purchased and licensed through the school. We can not allow "bring your own device" since we are not able to license and monitor a personal device on our domain in compliance with the Child Internet Protection Act. Devices are of the same make and model to help with maintenance, warranty and repairs, and to ensure that they have access to all the programs and apps used for your child's academics. While a student here at LCS, the device is subject to our filters. Although we can never be 100%, student devices have restrictions on them both here at school and (when using the school domain account) at home.
Is my child's device new or used? Students will receive a brand new device regardless of choice (lease or purchase) to use for 5th -8th grade along with a brand new case and domain license.
Can my child take their chromebook home over the summer? Most who choose to purchase a chromebook like the idea that the device goes home with the student over the summers, and then when the student leaves LCS we factory reset the chromebook for the student to take with them. Leased devices are stored at school over the summer and returned to the student in September.
Can I purchase a chromebook for my child who is not in 5th-8th grade? All students in grades K5-8 have a 1:to:1 chromebook to use while at school. Only students in grades 5-8 lease or purchase their device because they take their device home with them each night. Devices for students in grades K5-4 remain in the classroom.
What happens if the chromebook needs repair? Devices are covered under manufacturer warranty for the first year. Regardless of whether a Chromebook is leased or purchased, accidental damage (cracked screen, spilled liquid, loss, etc.) is the responsibility of the family. We do offer optional accidental damage coverage through the Worth Ave Group and that information will be provided to parents as of September 1. Your 5th grader will receive the Chromebook Handbook when issued her device. This handbook includes the Chromebook Damage Report form which indicates the estimated costs for the various repairs. If a student device requires repair (regardless of type), they are issued a checkout device to use until their device is returned.
