Each student is assigned a Chromebook for his/her use during the school year. Each student is responsible for the care and proper use of the device assigned to him/her. The same device will be assigned to the student for a period of four years. This equipment is, and at all times remains, the property of the Valders Area School District and is leased to the student for educational purposes only for the academic year. Families will have the option of keeping the device at the conclusion of the four year paid lease period. The Chromebook may not be defaced or destroyed in any way. The device must be used in accordance with the District’s Acceptable Use Policy as well as, local, state, and federal statutes. Inappropriate use of the machine may result in the student losing his/her right to use the Chromebook. The equipment must be returned to the school if the student withdraws from Valders Area School District or when requested by the Valders Area School District. If this happens prior to the end of the 4 year period, families will have the option of buying out the remaining balance and keep the device ($55 per year remaining).
