All students at Camden County High School are issued a Chromebook for school related use during the school year. As part of our 1:1 Device Initiative, students are able to use their Chromebooks both in school and at home as directed by their teachers. 

The device and accessories issued to students are, and will remain, the property of Camden County Schools.

The device is on loan to students and must be used in accordance with the guidelines outlined below:
-The student’s parent/guardian must sign and return the Device Acceptable Use Guidelines.
-Students, parents/guardians should keep logins and passwords private as use by others creates a security risk to files and the network. If students forget or need to change a password, they should consult with their teacher or media specialist.
-Parents /guardians are encouraged to have their student show them the work they are doing on the device, as well as communications from teachers and other students.

REQUIRED PAPERWORK FOR ISSUE OF CHROMEBOOKS

All students being issued a Chromebook must have a copy of the Device Acceptable Use Guidelines signed by both the student and their parent/guardian on file with the Media Center. This agreement must be signed every year that a student is being issued the Chromebook. Students or parents may pick up the student's Chromebook before the school year begins per the schedule that will be posted in the summer prior to the start of the school year.
