1:1 Chromebook Paperwork Middle School
VCMS - 1:1 Computer Use Agreement
This agreement is made effective upon receipt of computer, between the Vernon Public School District, the student receiving a computer and his/her parent(s) or legal guardian. During the year, additional rules regarding the use of Chromebooks may be added, and you will be notified of the change(s). Teachers may set additional requirements for technology use within their respective classrooms.
The focus of the Chromebook 1:1 Program in Vernon Public Schools (VPS) is to empower its community of students to become fully active participants in our global technology-driven society. Through our Chromebook 1:1 Program, students will acquire technological and critical thinking skills and will develop a sense of personal and social responsibility that will enable them to successfully compete in the growing, fast paced, and rapidly changing world economy. Chromebooks will encourage students to engage in problem-based learning and help them to realize that teaching and learning can occur anytime, anyplace.
