During the 2017-2018 school year, Barrington Public Schools will continue implementation of 1:1 Chromebooks for students in grades 6-12. New Chromebooks will be distributed to students in grades 6 and 9. Going forward, each year students entering grades 6 and 9 will receive new Chromebooks. All other grade levels 6-12 will continue to use previously distributed devices.
Also during the 2017-2018 school year, BPS will reallocate Chromebooks from existing inventory to Hampden Meadows. The reallocation of Chromebooks will give each classroom a dedicated cart of devices to provide access for each of their students. The Chromebooks are for in school use to be incorporated into instruction as appropriate. The Chromebooks will not be going home with students.
Each of the K-3 schools will also have increased access to an additional cart of 30 devices.
