Newport News Public Schools (NNPS) - Technology Device Agreement
The guidelines and information within this section apply to all take-home computing devices and
Wi-Fi hotspots assigned or loaned to students in the NNPS District. Electronic devices assigned or loaned to
students remain the exclusive property of NNPS.
Student Expectations
Students are expected to comply with all school rules, policies, procedures, and teacher directives when using their
Chromebooks. Expectations include, but are not limited to:
• Bring Daily: Students are expected to bring their Chromebook in its case along with their charger to school
every day, unless specifically advised not to do so by their teacher or school administrator.
• Fully Charged: Students are responsible for fully charging their Chromebooks at home each night.
• Responsible Use: Students are bound by the NNPS Technology Acceptable Use Policy and all rules contained in
this Technology Device Agreement regardless of where they use their Chromebooks or how they connect to the
Internet.
• Device turn-in: At the end of the school year, or if the student leaves the Division for any reason during the
year, all NNPS-issued Chromebooks and accessories must be returned. Chromebooks, hotspot, and accessories
must be in good working order when returned. If the Chromebook and accessories are not returned, the
parent/guardian may be held financially responsible.
Caring for your Chromebook
Students are responsible for the general care and protection of the Chromebook they have been issued. The District
is not responsible for the safekeeping and protection of student-issued Chromebooks.
Damaged or malfunctioning Chromebooks must be taken promptly to the school’s technology support staff and
reported for repair. Loaners will not be provided during the school year for forgotten devices that are not deemed
defective, damaged, lost, or stolen. Devices deemed defective, damaged, lost, or stolen will be replaced upon
verification by the building Technical Support Specialist (TSS). Do not take District-owned Chromebooks to outside
computer services for any type of repairs or maintenance. Do not attempt to repair damaged or malfunctioning
Chromebooks yourself.
Exceptions: Loaners will be provided to students during the SOL testing window.
Lost or Stolen

has verified non activity from the assigned student by the building tech.
Damaged

cracks, buttons, broken keypad, computer dented, USB accessibility broken, multiple keys
missing, and screen separated, etc.).
Intentional: Malicious intent to destroy technology equipment.

unintentional or uncontrollable damage to technology equipment.
