TCCS SECONDARY SCHOOL

chromebook program 2023-2024

All 7th-12th graders are required to bring a Chromebook to campus each day

ALL chromebooks need to be dropped off to be provisioned onto the school network (even if they have already brought it in) July 24th - August 11th. They can drop at the front office Tuesday - Thursday from 9am-1pm. They must leave with the individual working at the front desk - DO not just drop off

Chromebooks will be provisioned with one account per Chromebook, therefore the Chromebook will be 100% for school use This will be a full scale provisioning with several benefits: 1. to increase safety net for students by installing the 24-7 filtering system Bark for Schools, and 2. to protect the school's network

THE GOAL: EACH SECONDARY STUDENT WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH THEIR OWN GOOGLE CHROMEBOOK FOR THE START OF THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR.

Thank you for your support!
