Chomebooks for Christmas


It's about that time of year where we begin thinking about Christmas presents for our students.  Several forward thinking parents of 5th graders are already beginning to look ahead to the next school year and the need for a Chromebook for their future middle schooler who will participate in our 1:1 program.  With this in mind,we thought we would share the specs you should be looking for should you be hunting those Black Friday deals to get a jump on next year.

Specifications:
  • Chromebook
  • 11-14 inch screen
  • 16 GB of  Internal Storage (Hard Drive)
  • no less than 4 GB RAM
  • 8 or more hour battery life
  • Wireless: 802.11 AC capable
  • HDMI output
A case is not mandatory, but highly suggested for protection from damage. Computers purchased through school will have a case purchased.

Students in 5th grade who receive a Chromebook prior to their 6th grade year are more than welcome to bring their device to use in the classroom.
