CHCI Chromebook Pickup September 2020
Posted August 29, 2020
Dear Parents/Guardians of students in Grade 9 Classes,
Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year! Every student in a grade 9 class in the WRDSB receives a Chromebook for school use.
What is a Chromebook?
A Chromebook is a mobile computer that runs on Google’s Chrome Operating System. They are designed to be used primarily while connected to the internet. They are optimized to allow the use of Google applications (i.e. Google Drive, Calendar, Gmail, Google Classroom, etc.).
WRDSB students already have G Suite accounts, provided to them by the Board, which they will be able to use on their Chromebooks.
When will students be receiving their Chromebooks?
Chromebooks will be available for pickup, at Cameron Heights Collegiate, on WEDNESDAY, September 2nd.
- If driving, please enter from Stirling Avenue. Remain in your vehicle, and approach the area setup for pickup. A member of the CHCI team will approach the vehicle. We will assist with you getting your device.
- If walking, approach the area set up for distribution, while appropriately Social Distancing, and a member of the CHCI team will assist you.
- We ask that you bring a piece of IDENTIFICATION (Health Card, an old Student Card, a report card, etc… something that you will be able to use to verify the student). As well, we ask that only a parent/guardian OR the student pick up the chromebook.
PICKUP SCHEDULE
Please print a copy of the Chromebook Agreement and bring with you at your scheduled pick up time.
