A. The school's wireless network extends past the building walls for a short distance. Students are welcome to come to the school at any time and connect to the wireless network on school grounds. If you want to establish an Internet connection at your home you will need to contact a service provider such as Cox Communication, Wheatland Broadband, or Pioneer Internet.


A. Yes, but you will have to provide it yourself. We have found that after using their Chromebooks for a week most students do not feel the need to use a mouse.

A. Yes, but limit yourself to one text book at a time. They are extremely heavy and bulky and can put undue strain on your back. It also creates pressure against the laptop itself, causing damage to the screen.

A. That depends on the circumstances. Any intentional damage will be the responsibility of the student. Accidental damage is covered by insurance offered by another company through the school district. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PURCHASE THIS INSURANCE.
