Overview
This document outlines the policies and guidelines for managing Chromebooks in Lower School classrooms at RCS. Teachers are responsible for enforcing these policies and modeling responsible device use.
Classroom Cart Management
- Chromebooks are stored in a cart for each class. All Chromebooks must be returned to the cart to charge at the end of each school day.
- The cart must be kept in a classroom with an available power outlet.
- K–1st grade students should not plug in or unplug Chromebooks — this must be done by an adult.
Chromebook Assignment
- Classes with a designated cart should assign each Chromebook to a specific student and keep the same assignment throughout the year.
- Students should log in with their own RCS Google account only.
- Teachers should check that Chromebooks are signed out (signed into the correct student account) before instructional use.
During Class
- Chromebook lids should remain closed until instructional use is required.
- Teachers should use GoGuardian Teacher to monitor student activity and restrict access to non-instructional content during class time.
- Food and drinks are not permitted near Chromebooks.
Damage Reporting
- Any damage — cracked screens, broken keyboards, or charging issues — must be reported to IT immediately.
- Students should not attempt to repair devices themselves.
- Submit a Zendesk ticket with the Chromebook's asset tag number and a description of the damage.
