1:1 Chromebooks

1:1 Chromebook Program for Grades 6-12 

Rationale:  Forsyth County Schools (FCS) provides a Chromebook to every student in grades 6–12 to support learning both in school and at home. In alignment with the FCS Strategic Plan and Learner Profile, students will interact daily with a variety of online and digital resources.  By providing each student with a Chromebook, we aim to intentionally integrate technology into the classroom, promote digital literacy, and ensure that all students have access to educational resources. Just as with textbooks and other assigned materials, this device is an essential instructional tool and must be brought to school daily, fully charged. 

Chromebook Responsibility Guide: We believe that with great technology comes great responsibility. Please be sure to review the FCS Chromebook Responsibility Guide which outlines the student use expectations and financial responsibilities of parents/guardians to ensure the proper care and use of the devices.  Chromebooks will be distributed free of charge, but families may incur costs for lost or damaged devices.  Please review the Accidental Damage Coverage section below for information on how to minimize costs. 

Accidental Damage Coverage: To provide peace of mind, we offer an optional Accidental Damage Coverage plan for the Chromebooks for only $20.00. This coverage protects against unexpected incidents such as drops, spills, and other accidental damage. Details about the coverage plan, including how to enroll and what is covered, can be found here:  Accidental Damage Coverage 

Online Safety Hub: Our school district is committed to online safety. Our partnership with Linewize provides our district with an Online Safety Hub to provide resources and information to help parents and students navigate the digital world safely. The hub includes tips on cyberbullying prevention, internet safety, digital citizenship, and much more. Visit https://forsyth.onlinesafetyhub.io for more information.
