Are Chromebooks needed for in-person testing days?
At a minimum and unless directed by their teacher, ALL STUDENTS are expected to bring their Chromebooks to the classrooms on the testing days. There are several upcoming standardized tests that require Chromebooks. If your student has a Chromebook loaned from the district, please send the Chromebook with them on testing days. Ensure it is fully charged and working.
If for a testing day the student does not bring their Chromebook, they cannot test that day, and parents will have to make arrangements to bring the Chromebook to the student so they can test. Principals, teachers and testing coordinators will be sending the testing information to parents.

Does my student need to bring their Chromebook they received for virtual learning to school with them?
Yes, students are expected to bring their devices on the days they attend school in the building if the teacher requires it. We have assessments and other testing coming up, and it is important that they have their devices with them. Parents are expected to encourage their students to practice bringing devices to school and back home safely and securely. Students are also expected to have their Chromebook fully charged before attending school each day.

Do I have to send the WiFi hotspot with my student back to school?
No, the loaned hotspots can remain at home for students to use on the days they will be learning remotely.
-
How will WiFi hotspots work at school and at home?
WiFi access settings will be shifted to recognize CCS WiFi hotspots automatically one week prior to students returning to school. What this means is that every morning when the student is learning from home, they will have to connect their WiFi for their home WiFi or hotspot. Click here for simple instructions on how to set up this access. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the IT Help Desk at (614) 365-8425.
