Special Note: Important Info (BSD Chromebook): 18-19 Chromebook 1-to-1 Program

Dear Parents,

The Bedford School District is asking parents of students currently in grade 6 to select an option for your student to participate in the District’s Chromebook1-to-1 Program at Ross A. Lurgio Middle School for the 2018-2019 school year. We believe this program is a tremendous opportunity for our students and teachers to improve teaching and learning.

Our Chromebook 1-to-1 Website has detailed information for parents regarding the program and we encourage parents to review the 1-to-1 Program and theParent Resources sections.

Parents are asked to purchase a Chromebook device for their student choosing one of the following options:

• Purchase a Chromebook on your own,
• Purchase a Chromebook directly from the district (with optional accidental breakage/theft insurance) with a one-time payment (two models are offered to families this year),
• Lease to Own a Chromebook directly from the district with an annual payment for 3 years (accidental breakage/theft insurance included).

For families that do not opt into the Chromebook 1-to-1 Program, a loaner Chromebook device will be provided to the student during the school day. The loaner device must be checked in and out daily and will not be allowed to leave the school.

Please click on this Program Selection Form link to submit your choice for your student to participate in this exciting program. We are asking that parentssubmit this form for their student by June 5th, 2018 so that we can secure the best pricing and plan for purchasing and deployment. You will receive a confirmation of your program option selection and further information will be communicated during the summer based on the program option you have chosen for your student.

Thank you!
