July 2026 Updates for TK-8

Technology Services has refreshed chromebooks across all grades with a Lenovo 500e model. 

TK-8 has received new carts and devices for all supported subjects/classes. These new devices are the only supported device moving forward. Any remaining chromebooks that were missed during collection will not be supported by the Technology Services Department and should be returned for deprovisioning.

All K-8 SPED / Opportunity / County classrooms received a cart of chromebooks based on the master schedule.

Cart assignments are based on the master schedule and adjustments will be made as the year starts to balance inventory needs across all sites.

Any additional devices provided by the Technology Services Department will be a one time offering and not available again. These devices are not able to be repaired or replaced as they are not covered under warranty. Any additional chromebooks needed must be site purchased.
