Technology and Your Student

Students in today's world need opportunities to utilize technology to communicate, collaborate, create, and think critically.

Students in grades PK-12 have access to a wide variety of technology tools. Generally speaking, the following devices are utilized at different grade levels:

  • Kindergarten: Touch Screen Chromebooks that will stay at school
  • Grades 1-8: One-to-One Non-Touch Chromebooks that will stay at school
  • Grades 9-12: One-to-One Chromebooks to take home and bring to school each day

Additionally, most schools have computer labs with desktop computers or mobile labs of laptops, plus limited numbers of iPads to further enhance instruction that integrates technology. Check with your student's building to find out more about the technology provided.

One-to-One Device Agreement and Program

This fall we required all parents and/or guardians to review and sign a 1:1 device agreement in order to use a District Chromebook. The purpose of the agreement was to clearly communicate the expectations and rules regarding the use of District Chromebooks to parents and students.

  • All students in Two Rivers Public School District receive a Chromebook to use at school and/or at home depending on grade level (see above).

  • Students keep their Chromebook year round and do not need to turn it in until they leave the District.

  • Students are responsible for bringing the Chromebook to school each day

  • Students must charge their Chromebook each night

  • Students are expected to be able to use the Chromebook at home for homework, projects and E-learning days

  • Students and families are responsible for any damage to the Chromebooks

  • Families will be responsible for paying the replacement cost of lost or stolen devices
