Parents and Students,
Here is an update regarding Chromebooks for this coming year.
New AUA (formerly AUP)
The district has updated the Chromebook agreement form. A copy of the new form can be found here. There is a very important change regarding insurance and fines/fees for broken/damaged Chromebooks. The new pay structure is as follows:
With this new structure in place, it is highly recommended for students to purchase the insurance, which costs $20. More details regarding the insurance plan can be found here.
Insurance can be purchased and fines/fees can be paid utilizing Springdale High School's new online payment system, which can be accessed by going to bit.do/SHSINS.
Chromebook Pick-Up
For students that do not have a Chromebook, we will be handing out Chromebooks next Wednesday (8/19) and Thursday (8/20). You will enter through the main entrance, and the Chromebooks will be handed out in the library. We ask that only the student and one family member enter the building. All who enter must wear a mask.
In order to receive a new Chromebook, all Chromebook fines and fees must be resolved (at SHS and/or previous Springdale schools) and a new AUA must be signed. A paper copy of the AUA will be available to fill out on site. Alternatively, you can fill out the AUA online by clicking here. NOTE: parent signature is required, so if a student shows up without a parent, and they haven't filled out the online version already, they will not be able to receive a Chromebook until the AUA is signed. Also, make sure you know your student ID in order to expedite the process.
Here is the pickup schedule for next week:
Broken Chromebooks
If you already have a Chromebook, but it has a broken screen, keyboard, or other issues, you may drop it off at the main office by August 21. We will collect the broken Chromebooks in the main office in the hopes of fixing them and getting back to you within the first week of school. If the broken Chromebook is not received by the 21st, you will have the opportunity to turn in broken Chromebooks to the library during the first week of school. Chromebooks that have been damaged over the summer will be subject to the old pay structure which is $25 for a first offense and $50 for a second offense. The fine must be paid before the student can receive a Chromebook again.
Thanks, SHS Admin
