Chromebook Program Scholars in 11th and 12th grades are required to participate in our Chromebook laptop program. Through this program, scholars either loan a Chromebook from the school or purchase one on their own. Chromebook loans require a $50 deposit before being distributed to scholars. Academic instruction is based on the understanding that all scholars in these grades have access to a Chromebook, and have access to the Internet outside of school. More information on this program is distributed via the Chromebook Playbook, which is provided to scholars in the 11th
