Chromebook Users at Lumberg (Jeffco)
Every Jeffco student entering 5th or 6th grade will receive a district-provided Chromebook through the Jeffco TechForEd, a district-wide 1:1 learning device program, which started in the 2019-20 school year.
Grade 5 Students
For 2021-2022 school year, Grade 5 students will receive a NEW Lenovo 300e touchscreen Chromebook as their District 1:1 learning device. Students will keep this device for the next four years to customize and enhance their learning experience at school and at home. A charging cord will be given to your student along with their device. Students will be responsible for the replacement of the charging cord if it is lost or damaged. New chargers are available to purchase for $27 in the front office.
6th grade Students
NEW to Jeffco students who will be in the 6th grade will also receive a Lenovo Chromebook that was issued during the 2020-2021 school year. A charging cord will be given to your student along with their device. Students will be responsible for the replacement of the charging cord if it is lost or damaged. New chargers are available to purchase for $27 in the front office.
Returning 6th-grade students will continue to use the device they were issued last year.
Jeffco Technology Fees
The "Personalized Technology Use Fee" of $50 that you will see on your fee sheet, combined with funding from the 2018 5A mill levy override, helps cover costs associated with the TechForEd program, including the device and its protective case and various digital learning tools.
The TechForEd website includes more information about device expectations, care, troubleshooting support, district-wide digital tools, and digital wellness support for families, such as internet privacy, screen time, and cyberbullying. Visit the Jeffco TechForEd website for more information.
Families are recommended to purchase a warranty for this device to cover accidental damages, such as broken screens and keyboards. An unlimited, four-year warranty is $111 through Lenovo. For comparison, a broken screen replacement costs $90.
Internet Safety at Home
Families are encouraged to monitor--and restrict, if you choose--your student’s activity on this device through the Securly Home App. Technology and internet safety is a priority and this is a partnership between school and home. Click here to view the SecurlyHome app parent support page.
Device Handout
Devices for ALL 5th grade students and NEW to Jeffco 6th grade students will be distributed to students at the Lumberg Meet and Greet event on August 16, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you do not attend the Meet & Greet event, your student will receive their chromebook and charging cord the first week of school.
Moving?
If your student will attend a Jeffco Public School, the student will take the Jeffco-issued device along with them. If your student will be leaving Jeffco, you will need to return the device to Lumberg on your student's last day.
