Emergency Home Chromebook Request
This year, our school is using a classroom cart model for Chromebooks. This means students use an assigned Chromebook while in school but do not bring their Chromebook home each night. As we move into the winter months and plan for potential emergency closures, your child will need access to a device at home to engage in homework, interactive resources, and potential virtual instruction. If your child does not have access to a personal or home computer, a parent or guardian should complete a form to request an MCPS Chromebook. The device will be checked out to your student and kept at home for the school year. The device will need to be returned at the end of the school year or sooner if your student leaves MCPS for any reason.
To request an MCPS Chromebook for home use, please complete this: Chromebook Form to Distribute to Families Links.
