We are committed to supporting your student's learning journey and ensuring they have the resources they need to succeed. We encourage you to embrace this initiative and support your students in utilizing their Chromebook for educational purposes.
In the coming months, we will provide more information about the rollout plan for the Chromebooks for the next academic year, including distribution dates and procedures. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we can provide our students with the tools and resources they need to thrive in a digital age.
