Chromebook Information for Families

  • THE MAPLEWOOD RICHMOND HEIGHTS SCHOOL DISTRICT PROVIDES A CHROMEBOOK FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES 3-12 FOR IN-SCHOOL AND TAKE-HOME USE. CHROMEBOOKS ARE AVAILABLE FOR USE IN-SCHOOL FOR GRADES K-2.

    The Maplewood Richmond Heights School District provides a Chromebook to all elementary, middle, and high school  students each school year.  New Chromebooks are purchased for all incoming 3rd, 7th and 10th grade students, and remain assigned to the student for the duration of their time in the school building.

    For students in Grades K-2, the District will refurbish Chromebooks turned in by outgoing 9th grade students to be handed out to each Early Childhood Center (ECC) students in the fall.  Students enrolled at the ECC will have access to a Chromebook in their homeroom class.

    MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: WHEN DO I GET MY CHROMEBOOK?

    The MRH Technology Department works throughout the summer each year to prepare all the devices for student use in the fall. Based on the delivery timeline and the workload of our staff, the District generally hands out Chromebooks to all students in grades 3 through 12 during the first two weeks of school (Student/Parent Acceptable Use Agreement Pending).

    The device and accessories issued to students are, and will remain, the property of the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District.

    The device is on loan to students and must be used in accordance with the guidelines outlined below:

    • The student’s parent/guardian must sign and return the MRH Technology Use Agreement.
    • Students, parents/guardians should keep logins and passwords private as use by others creates a security risk to files and the network. If students forget or need to change a password, they should consult with their teacher or enter a work order.
    • Parents /guardians are encouraged to have their students show them the work they are doing on the device, as well as communication from teachers and other students.

    Required Paperwork For Issue Of Chromebooks

    All students being issued a Chromebook must have a copy of the MRH Technology Use Agreement signed by both the student and their parent/guardian on file in PowerSchool. This agreement must be signed every year in which a student is issued a Chromebook. 

    Loss And Damage To Chromebooks

    ALL damage incidents will be investigated by a designated MRH staff member and/or member of the MRH Tech Department.

    • Students will deliver broken computers to the Tech Help Desk.
    • Computers will be returned to the student when repairs are complete.
    • If the computer shows signs of damage related to misuse or abuse, fines will be assessed according to the severity of the damage. This includes cracked or broken screens and loss of the computer charger.
    • Lost charger-first occurrence is $25, second occurrence (and so on) is $50.
    • Broken/cracked screen is $50.
    • Damaged top-case, or bottom case is $75.
    • In the event that a computer is damaged beyond repair, lost, or stolen (with no police report on file), or if a computer is not returned to the school, a fee of $250 will be assessed to the student.
