Dear Parents/Guardians, Fairfield County School District is excited about the expansion of our Digital Learning Initiative (DLI) which will enable each student to have a device for his/her educational use in the classroom. This implementation of Chromebooks will ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn utilizing the same device at the same time. It is the district’s ongoing desire to provide equity to all students in every classroom. Students are expected to properly utilize the device for educational purposes. Students are expected to adhere to the following Student Usage Expectations:    

Never leave the Chromebook unattended. The Chromebook must be placed on a working surface. Carry the Chromebook closed with both hands at all times. Never grab the Chromebook by its screen.

While there is no cost for the use of the device, it is imperative that the device is maintained and handled in a responsible way. Damages will require the student to pay a handling fee, cost of repair, or replace the device in its entirety.
