Parent University: Chromebooks
District 204 is holding a virtual educational session for parents titled “Parent University: Chromebooks” from 7 to 8 pm on Monday, August 31. The event is for parents with children in kindergarten through second grade or who are new to our district, but staff are welcome to attend. The event will be streamed live on the district’s YouTube channel and available afterward for on-demand viewing. Topics covered include an overview of the basic functions of Chromebooks and Google tools students will use during the school year.
Chromebook Distribution and Updates
Returning 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students as well as students who are transferring from another district 204 elementary school should all keep and use their chromebooks from last school year.
If you turned in a broken chromebook this spring or currently have a chromebook that is not functional, please complete THIS FORM. We will make every effort to have an exchange for you on materials distribution day. Please bring your nonfunctioning chromebook with you to materials distribution day to complete the exchange. Students without devices or completely non functional devices will be given priority. Depending on the number of responses, some exchanges may be scheduled for a later time.
Materials Distribution Plan
Materials distribution will take place on Tuesday, September 1st.
Last Name A - E 8:30 to 9:30
Last Name F - K 9:30 to 10:30
Last Name L - R 10:30 to 11:30
Last Name S - Z 11:30 to 12:30
Please make every attempt to honor the time assigned to you in order to control traffic around the school.
Parents are asked to stay in their vehicle and allow our staff to bring their materials to you. It is important that parents view and follow the traffic pattern (pictured below) for our distribution day.
We ask that parents tape a sign with their child(ren)'s name(s) to their passenger side window. A sample is pictured below. Please use dark ink if possible.
