CHANGE: Parents will NOT sign a form to take the Chromebook home

Earlier, we reported that parents would need to sign a form acknowledging that they were checking out a Chromebook for their child.   However, we are now changing that process,  as parents already sign a form acknowledging that they have received and read the school handbook.   Instead of having a separate form for the Chromebook, we have integrated the technology information into the school handbook and therefore will NOT need a separate parent signature for checking out the Chromebook. 

Bags, carry cases, and more…

Would your classroom have a use for any small carry cases / computer bags?  If so, let me know, as we have some cases/bags available and we’d love to see them put to use by someone.

Sample chromebook cases that were reviewed – but not selected. If you have a classroom need for them, let me know.

Although they are technically chromebook carry cases – they can be used for storing/carrying other items. When we tested out 40+ models of cases a few months ago, we ended up with all the ones that weren’t selected, so if you have a classroom need for them, let me know, we’ll make them available to you.

ALSO –    if you are a WDMCS staff member and your laptop bag (like the one shown below) has any issues, is wore, or you just prefer a new one –  send in a request to helpdesk.wdmcs.org and we’ll send out a new one to you.
