BPS Parent News for 1:1 Students

Chromebooks, cases, and chargers will be collected from students following a time schedule established by each school. The dates for your child's chromebook return is currently listed on the wallpaper of their chromebook.

Damaged or unreturned chargers or damaged cases will incur a replacement fee which will be billed in the fee section of the Infinite Campus parent portal and available to pay in Revtrak.

Students have been instructed to complete a helpdesk ticket prior to turning in their Chromebook to report any damages or problems so it can be addressed over the summer. Students who do not report Chromebook problems or damages prior to leaving for the summer will receive their Chromebook back in the fall as is.

For the 2024-25 school year, insurance coverage on Chromebooks will remain the same at $21 per device. Students in 2nd through 12th grade will take their chromebook home daily. Insurance is required for students to take chromebooks off campus.

The $21 premium covers damages to a student's Chromebook for the entire school year. Vandalism and/or repeated negligence of care is not accidental therefore, is not covered by insurance. Repair costs will be assessed for damages caused by vandalism or negligence.

Families that have 3 or more students in the 1:1 program will have insurance capped at $63. Insurance must be paid for students to take devices home. Chromebook insurance will be available to purchase through the fees and payments in Infinite Campus at the beginning of August. Families experiencing hardship circumstances may contact the building principal to discuss financial assistance.

Information requiring parent permission and insurance payments will be available online in the Infinite Campus parent portal for parents to access and complete digitally at the beginning of August.

High School students will pick up their Chromebooks on their designated day during high school registration during the week of August 19th.

Junior High students will pick up their Chromebooks during BJHS Roundup scheduled for August 20, 21, and 22. The JHS will be sending a specific schedule to parents.

Grades 2-5 students will pick up their Chromebooks during scheduled times during school hours the week of Sept. 9th.

All students will have access to their Mybedford Google drive account during the summer. However, as we have done in the past, email for students currently in 4th grade and under will be turned off on June 5 and will be reopened at the beginning of the new school year. Email access for students currently in grades 5-11 will remain on so it can be utilized to communicate with students who are participating in summer coursework or activities.
