Chromebook Program for 2018-2019

Holliston High is excited to begin Stage 3 of our one-to-one Chromebook program. Chromebooks are low-cost, cloud-centric laptops that allow students and teachers to participate in collaborative, interactive, digital learning experiences. We have seen tremendous success with our Chromebook program during the first two years, and are looking forward to expanding the program in 2018-2019.

Grade 9

HHS will provide a Chromebook device to all students in Grade 9. There is no annual fee for this Chromebook; however, we strongly recommend that families purchase the optional insurance plan for $40*, which protects against accidental damage.

Chromebooks for freshmen will be ready for pickup at the 9th Grade Orientation event on Wednesday, August 22nd. Students not attending the Orientation should pick up their Chromebooks on the first day of school in the school library.

Grades 10 & 11

HHS will provide a Chromebook device to all students in Grades 10 & 11. There is no annual fee for the Chromebook; however, we strongly recommend that families purchase the optional insurance plan for $40*, which protects against accidental damage.

Returning students should bring their Chromebook to school fully charged on the first day of school. Students who are new to Holliston High can pick up their Chromebooks and Technology Welcome Packets in the school library on the first day of school.

Grade 12

Seniors who opted-in and were issued school Chromebooks in 2017-2018 may continue to use them in the upcoming school year. Students who are new to Holliston High are also eligible for a Chromebook. There is no annual fee for the Chromebook; however, we strongly recommend that families purchase the optional insurance plan for $40*, which protects against accidental damage.

The Class of 2019 will continue to have the option to “opt out” of Chromebook use, provided that they bring their own laptop device instead. Seniors who would like to "opt back in" should contact the HHS main office to be placed on a waiting list, until availability can be assessed in early September.

All seniors should plan to bring their charged Chromebook or personal laptop to school on the first day.

Form Due Dates

New in 2018-2019: Sign-off forms are no longer required in order to receive a Chromebook. Relevant "care and use" information will be provided as part of the back-to-school online updates.

However, families participating in the Chromebook Insurance Program should submit their form and check to the main office on or before the first day of school.




*Students who are eligible for free or reduced lunch may waive the $40 insurance fee.
