EoY Chromebook Procedure (Underclassmen)

Dear East Greenwich High School Parents, Guardians and Students,

I am writing you today to let you know our end of the year plans and procedures for the Chromebooks issued to students by the East Greenwich School Department to EGHS students.

Beginning this Wednesday (6/10/2015) and continuing throughout this week and next, we will begin inspecting all chromebooks. The following scenarios address the potential outcomes after inspection:

• Scenario 1- No damage, Has Insurance: Student will be allowed to keep device throughout the course of the summer. ***
• Scenario 2- Damaged device, Has Insurance: Claim will be filed, if device is still working student may continue to use device and turn in on Friday June 19, 2015 for repair processing. Device will be kept at EGHS once repaired is completed and we will reissue at the beginning of SY 15-16
• Scenario 3- Damaged device, No Insurance: Student can bring a check made payable to East Greenwich Public Schools in the amount of the anticipated cost found below or the device will be sent for repair and family will be sent an invoice of the repair costs.
• Scenario 4- No damage, No insurance: Student chromebook will be collected after the student’s final exam on Friday June 19 2015 (or earlier if the student wishes)

***IMPORTANT: Should the device be damaged or stolen over the course of the summer, a claim must be filed and the device (or police report) turned in immediately at East Greenwich High School.

Other related Chromebook information:

• Students who do not wish to take their EGPS issued device home for the summer may turn it in on Friday June 19th.
• The device will continue to be filtered throughout the summer using the same protocols as were in effect during the 2014-15 school year.
• Students will be issued the same device that they were issued this year.
• Insurance will be made available again next year.
• Individuals who are under financial constraints and would like to set up a payment schedule in order to pay for repairs to damaged chromebooks should contact the District's financial office at 401-398-1222.
