Chromebook Information
In Wylie ISD, all secondary students have had access to Chromebooks in various content classes since 2015. Starting in 2017, our 5th-8th graders were issued a Chromebook to use throughout the entire school day, and last year our high school students were issued Chromebooks to be used both at school and at home. We are excited to announce that, for the 2020-2021 school year, we will continue to implement a one-to-one Chromebook program at our secondary campuses, with one major difference. The students in grades 5-8 will also be allowed to take the Chromebooks home.
Chromebooks will be distributed to students at the beginning of the school year after the parent and student sign a device agreement. Each campus will publish more information regarding device distribution. Students will be issued a Dell Chromebook along with a power adapter, cord, and protective case. Wylie ISD will require that Chromebook insurance be purchased prior to deployment of the Chromebook to the student. For students in grades 5-8, the annual fee will be $30 per device. The insurance package covers any type of device malfunction, including:
· Hardware
· Accidental damage (drops/spills)
· Cracked screen
· Liquid submersion
· Power surge (lightning)
· Theft with a police report
· Vandalism

#betheplus2
As we prepare for a new school year, we want to ensure that all of our Marauders know what to expect when they come to Davis. We work hard to #betheplus2. The philosophy derived from a TED Talk video featuring Rita Pierson. We encourage you to watch it and share in our journey to “find the good” in all we do. “Minus eighteen sucks all the life out of you. Plus two says I ain’t all bad.”
Amen to that.
