Important Info: 21-22 Chromebook 1-to-1 Program

The Bedford School District is asking parents of students currently in grade 6 to select an option for your student to participate in the District’s Chromebook 1-to-1 Program at Ross A. Lurgio Middle School for the 2021-2022 school year. We believe this program is a tremendous opportunity for our students and teachers to improve teaching and learning.

Our Chromebook 1-to-1 Website has detailed information for parents regarding the program and we encourage parents to review the 1-to-1 Program and Parent Resources sections.

Parents are asked to purchase a Chromebook device for their student choosing one of the following options:

• Purchase a Chromebook on your own,

• Purchase a Chromebook directly from the district (first year accidental breakage/theft insurance included) with a one-time payment (only one non-touch model is being offered to families this year)

For families that do not opt into the Chromebook 1-to-1 Program, a loaner Chromebook device will be provided to the student to use during the school day. Please click on this Program Selection Form link to submit your choice for your student to participate in this exciting program. We are asking that parents submit this form for their student by June 2nd, 2021 so that we can secure the best quantity pricing and plan for those purchasing from the District. You will receive a confirmation of your program option selection and further information will be communicated during the summer based on the program option you have chosen for your student.  Please complete the form even if you are not purchasing a device through the district. 

If you have a student going into grades 7-12 information will be coming in the next week on how to pre-order a chromebook for those grade levels.

Thank you!

2019-2020 Chromebook Payment/Distribution Info

Chromebook devices have been ordered and are expected to arrive soon. Upon arrival, we will inventory, assign and configure the devices and enroll them into our Chromebook Management System. This will enable us to have your student’s device ready to go for the start of school. Devices will be available for pickup on August 12th-13th from 8:00am-4:00pm in the Bedford High School Media Center. If you are unable to pick up the device at that time, there will be alternate days posted at a later time. Payment must be made in full prior to the pickup of the Chromebook device. We encourage families to pay in advance to expedite the pickup process.

Payment options:

Check
All checks should be made out to the Bedford School District. Please include your student’s name and ID number on the check.  The cost of the 100e device is $230 (insurance included) and the cost of the 300e device is $277.

One check for multiple student purchases is also acceptable.

Credit Card
The District uses the “Send Money to School” (http://www.sendmoneytoschool.com) service for credit card purchases. This is the same service that is used to deposit money into your student’s lunch account. To pay via credit card, log into your sendmoneytoschool.com account, click on the School Store and then click on the Chromebook Store to select your purchase option.
