Chrome Device 1 to 1
We are excited to continue the one-to-one computing device program to all students in the fall of 2026. Each student will have access to a Chromebook on a daily basis which will allow continued use of Google Classroom and other digital resources that became a staple of our educator's toolboxes last school year.
Chrome/Tablet Device Information – Elementary
- Students in Kindergarten will be issued a District-owned Lenovo Duet tablet. Grades 1-5 will be issued a District-owned Chromebook. An Elementary Technology Agreement must be signed by parents at the beginning of the school year. Parents may choose to purchase insurance, but it is not required. All elementary students will leave their devices at school
Grades 6-12 - Device Distribution for Fall 2026

- lost/damaged charger - $25.00 each incident
- lost/damaged case - $15.00 each incident
In the event the Chromebook is damaged, fees will be assessed at the time a repair report is completed. The following fees will be applied to the students’ skyward account:

Device Insurance
The cost of insurance for the year is $30.00 and covers all unintentional damage. It does not cover lost or stolen Chromebooks, chargers or cases. If the Chromebook insurance fee is not paid by October 12, 2026, insurance will no longer be able to be paid and damage fees will be applied to the students’ Skyward account
Device Repair
All damages will be assessed by the District Librarian. If the Chromebook is damaged, it will be sent to ITSavvy to be fixed, and sent back. A loaner Chromebook will be issued to the student while the original is being fixed. The general time frame is 3-4 weeks for the whole process. A repair form will be sent to parents once the Chromebook is fixed and fees will be added to Skyward if they apply.
Home Use
Students are issued a Chromebook to improve and personalize his/her education this year. It is essential that the following guidelines be followed to ensure the safe, efficient, and ethical operation of this computer:
- Supervise student use of the Chromebook at home including internet and email
- Discuss family's values and expectations regarding the use of the Internet and email at home
- Do not attempt to repair the Chromebook
- Do not attempt to clean it with anything other than a soft, dry cloth
- Report to the school any problems with the Chromebook
- Make sure the student recharges the Chromebook battery nightly
- Make sure the student brings the Chromebook to school every day in grades 6-12
Filtering and Monitoring
The School District of Maple utilizes an internet content filter that is in compliance with the federally mandated Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). All district owned devices are filtered both on network and off. Although the district has very strict filter settings at all grade levels, no filter can block 100% of inappropriate content. The presence of filters or blocks do not relieve the students and/or parent/guardian responsibility of any board policies or relieve the parent/guardian of their responsibility for supervising the student’s use outside of school.
Digital Citizenship
Technology allows unlimited resources to enhance our education with vast collaborative partnerships. Learning to be a good digital citizen allows us to utilize technology in safe, responsible, and productive ways. Students will learn safety, privacy, and security, information literacy, and intellectual property and copyright based on the Wisconsin Informational and Literacy Standards and ISTE Standards.
Building Level/Teacher Responsibilities
Staff members shall provide instruction for their students regarding the appropriate use of technology and online safety and security.
