Frequently Asked Questions

What will be the One-to-One Chromebook I will be receiving?

Each student included in the One-to-One program will receive a Chromebook.  New Chromebooks will be distributed to each 5th and 9th grade class each year, exception being 2019/2020 9th grade.  Students are expected to use the same Chromebook for four (4) years.

Will I receive a new Chromebook each year?

No.  Students will receive a new Chromebook when they enter fifth grade, to be used through eighth grade, and ninth grade, to be used through their senior year.  Exception is the 2019/2020 ninth grade.

Will I need to turn in my Chromebook during the summer?

Students in 5th and 6th grade do not take Chromebooks home.
Students in 7th through 11th grade who will be returning in the fall will keep their Chromebooks during the summer.  Seniors will return the Chromebook to the district at the end of their Senior year or when transferring out of the district.

Who can use my Chromebook?

Each Chromebook is labeled and assigned to an individual student and only that person can login to the Chromebook.  Do not let friends or family borrow the Chromebook.

May I personalize my Chromebook?

Students may not personalize or embellish the Chromebook in a permanent way (eg: normal stickers, permanent markers, engraving, etc).  Students may purchase a Hard Shell Case for the Chromebook if they choose. Cases are not provided or sold by the District.  Students are not required to purchase a Hard Shell case.

Why is it important to keep my login credentials/password a secret?

Students should never share login credentials/passwords.  Login credentials can be used to access more than just the Chromebook, sharing login credentials exposes the student to privacy concerns.

What do I do if I suspect my login credentials or password changed or if they are no longer secret?

Immediately seek assistance from a building technology contact to request a password change.  Explain why the password change is needed.

Will I have a place to leave my Chromebook at school overnight, over the weekend, or during breaks?

Students in 5th and 6th grade do not take Chromebooks home.
Students in 7th through 12th grade need to take the Chromebook home.  Students are expected to bring a fully charged Chromebook back to school each day.

Will I need my Chromebook everyday? If yes, what if I forget to bring it?

Yes, students are expected to have their Chromebooks with them everyday and fully charged. If students forget to charge or bring their Chromebook, temporary Chromebooks or power adapters will not be provided.

How do I secure my Chromebook while at school (i.e. lunch, gym, etc)?

Students should treat Chromebooks like any other valuables they bring to school. Please keep the Chromebook in your possession when possible and do not leave unattended. If you are in a class that leaves for lunch or another activity, check with the teacher to make sure the classroom will be secure. When available, secure the Chromebook in a locker. Never share your locker combinations with friends.

What happens if my Chromebook is lost or stolen?

Immediately contact a staff member in the Repair Shop located in the Media Center.  In the event the Chromebook is reported STOLEN, Fremont Public Schools will require the student/parent to file a police report and submit a copy to the District.  The student will be required to also complete an appropriate LOST or STOLEN form.  Form will be provided from the Repair Shop in the Media Center.

What happens if I lose my power adapter?

Immediately seek assistance from the Repair Shop in the Media Center.  Replacement power adapters must be purchased from the district. Power adapters are not included in the TigerCare Program.

What do I do if my Chromebook is not working properly?

During normal school hours, seek assistance at the Repair Shop located in the Media Center.

What are the potential repair or replacement fees associated with the Chromebook?

Please see the Chromebook repair fee document HERE.

Will TigerCare cover the expenses for the repair when gross negligence is involved?

No, if a Chromebook is intentionally damaged or damaged due to gross negligence, the expenses for repair will be charged at full value to the student.

How do I get technical support when school is not in session (e.g. evenings, weekends, and breaks)?

Support is available during normal school hours, seek assistance from the Repair Shop located in the Media Center.

What if I must have to access my Google Drive and I do not have an Internet connection?

Fremont Public Schools only provides Internet access for students while at school. Options for students without Internet access at home include downloading files onto their Chromebook before leaving school, utilizing your school’s extended library hours, or connecting to public wifi (e.g., public library).

What happens if I decide to leave the Fremont Public Schools district?

If a student leaves the Fremont Public Schools district, the Chromebook and power adapter will be collected as part of the school’s formal checkout/withdrawal process.

Can I purchase the Chromebook when my child graduates from FPS?

Chromebooks will not be available for purchase by students.

Can students choose not to participate in the One-to-One deployment?

Yes, but it is not recommended. Please be warned that teachers will be teaching utilizing software and systems optimized for a One-to-One learning environment and your child may be at a disadvantage by having limited access.

If students choose not to participate, can they bring their own computers to school?

No, since we are providing each student with a Chromebook it is not necessary for students to bring their own devices.  License agreements do not allow the District to load software on personal computers/Chromebooks. To protect instructional bandwidth and network security we limit/restrict outside computers/Chromebooks.

Is content filtered on the Chromebooks when they are connected to the Internet?

Yes, each Chromebook is filtered for inappropriate content and always passes through an internet filter when connected to the Internet no matter the location (e.g., school, home, public wifi).

What if my student does not have Internet access at home?

Fremont Public Schools only provides Internet access for students while at school. Options for students without Internet access at home include downloading files onto their Chromebook before leaving school, utilizing your school’s extended library hours, or connecting to public wifi (e.g., public library).
