5th Grade 1:1 Chromebook Initiative
TechForEd is Jeffco Public Schools' district-wide 1:1 initiative, starting in the 2019-20 school year. As a part of this initiative, all incoming fifth and ninth grade students will pay a technology fee that will assign them a Chromebook for the next four years. In addition to the fee, families can -- and are encouraged to -- purchase one of the warranty options as soon as possible after their student receives his/her device.
At Colorow, fifth grade students will receive a Lenovo 300e Chromebook, charger, and protective. Students will be taking these devices home shortly after deployment. Once devices go home, students are expected to bring them back fully charged every day. They are not to remove the protective cover, but can add stickers to it. They are also unable to add or remove any apps/programs/games/etc. on this device unless approved by the school. Please help your student keep their Chromebooks charged and safe from damage.
All fifth grade students take part in digital citizenship classes with our Digital Teacher Librarian. We will focus on general device care when students receive their devices. Please see the TechforEd website for more information and resources.
