Westfield Public School District 1:1 Chromebook Program

The Westfield Public School District provides every student in grades 3-12 with a Chromebook to enhance their learning experience. Parents and students have reviewed and agreed to the District-Provided Device Acceptable Use Agreement, which outlines the terms and conditions for using school-issued devices. According to this agreement, students and their parents/guardians are responsible for any lost or damaged devices.

New Chromebook Damage & Replacement Procedure (Effective February 1, 2025)

To streamline the repair and replacement process, the district has adopted a new procedure:

• Immediate Replacement: Students will receive a replacement Chromebook upon turning in a damaged device.

• Parent Notification: Parents will receive an email detailing the repair or replacement cost.

• Payment Process: The repair fee will be added to the student’s account in the Parent Portal, where parents can submit payment via MySchoolBucks.

• Outstanding Fines: Students with unpaid fees may face consequences under Board Policy 7523, including restrictions from extracurricular activities (field trips, clubs, sports, etc.) and limited access to schedules or homeroom assignments in August.

Chromebook Support by Grade Level

For any issues with district-assigned Chromebooks, students should seek assistance as follows:

• Elementary School: Report to the homeroom teacher, school-based IT Specialist, or main office staff (who will notify IT).

• Intermediate School: Visit the Computer Technician or Librarian in the school library.

• High School: Go to the Technology Office in the school library.
