Chromebook Program 2019-2020

Holliston High is excited to begin Stage 4 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 three years, and are looking forward to completing the transition in 2019-2020.

Note: The 2019-2020 school year marks the end of the former "BYOD" program at HHS. All students should plan on using their school-owned Chromebook in their classes. Personally-owned laptops and Chromebooks are not an appropriate substitute, unless needed for a special project.

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 21. Students not attending the Orientation should pick up their Chromebooks on the first day of school in the school library, beginning at 7 am.

Grades 10-12

HHS will provide a Chromebook device to all students in Grades 10-12. 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, beginning at 7am.

Form Due Dates

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.


Thank you for your help in making our technology program successful and valuable for our students.
