We have sold all the Chromebooks that were available. We are working to reset other surplus but they will not be available until May 2nd. In addition, if a student has purchased a Chromebook, these are not allowed to be brought back to school because they have been released from our organization and we can't monitor activity on them.

Students that have Library Books and Chromebooks checked out need to check them into the library by April 25, 2024. We have a surplus of Chromebooks and students will have the opportunity to purchase these for $5.00. They can be purchased in the library. The Chromebook will be reset to factory settings and will come with the charger.
