Student Chromebooks

Policies

APS provides Chromebooks for all students for educational purposes.  When a student leaves their current APS school, their Chromebook and charger must be turned in to the school that issued it.  The new school will issue a Chromebook to that student upon enrollment.

Chromebooks and chargers are on loan to students from APS.  While this equipment is on loan, it is assumed that students take full responsibility for its care, and for any loss or damage while it is in their possession.

Expectations for Device Care

  • Student will bring device and charger to school each day.
  • Student will not leave the device unattended while at school or in a public place.
  • Student will not remove the District barcode labels or mark the device in any way with markers, scratches, engravings, etc.
  • Student will not remove the hard drive, modify the device's operating system, or install any unauthorized software or browser extensions.
  • Student will not use another's password.
  • Student will not take, vandalize, or damage the property of another student.
  • Student will notify school staff as soon as possible if their device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
  • Student will return the loaned Chromebook and charger upon leaving Madison.
  • Student may be charged a fee for repairs or replacement if a device and/or charger has been defaced or damaged beyond normal wear.

Lost or Damaged Student Technology Devices

Current APS policy requires student technology devices and chargers to be collected at the end of each school year or upon transfer or disenrollment.  Failure to turn in the assigned device may result in the student being charged a replacement cost.

If a device and/or charger has been defaced or damaged beyond the normal wear, the student may be charged a fee for repairs or replacements.  Students may also be charged for replacements if devices are lost or stolen.

Families should notify administration as soon as possible of damage or loss so an investigation may take place.  APS schools may withhold the grades, diploma, or transcripts of the student responsible for damage or loss of any technology devices or equipment until the parent/legal guardian or student has paid for the damage or loss.

If a student's APS Chromebook or charger is not working correctly and needs to be swapped, they should ask one of their current teachers to submit a Chromebook Issue Form.

Student Use of Technology

At the beginning of each school year, APS asks that every student and their parents/guardians review the district's Acceptable Use of Technology policy and agree to abide by it.

When issued a Chromebook, each Madison student reviewed the expectations of acceptable use and care of APS technology and acknowledged understanding of these expectations.
