Perkiomen Valley School District strives to create an environment where every learner has the power to meet the challenges of today’s world with confidence. Chromebooks support this environment in many ways. These devices break down classroom walls and provide both educators and students with the ability to access more educational resources than ever before. Chromebooks encourage collaboration and allow learning opportunities to be anywhere at any time. This tool will permit teachers to utilize mobile and social technologies in their everyday instruction, encouraging a habit of lifelong learning in their students, and continue to meet the ever-changing challenges of college and career readiness.
Students and parents should complete the Chromebook Acceptance Form electronically to receive their device by following the instructions below.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TAKE DISTRICT OWNED CHROMEBOOKS TO AN OUTSIDE COMPUTER SERVICE FOR ANY TYPE OF REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE. ALL REPAIRS MUST BE HANDLED BY THE PERKIOMEN VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT.
My Chromebook is under repair. Loaner Chromebooks will be issued to students when they leave their Chromebook for repair with the school Chromebook Service Center. (Same guidelines apply.)
I came to school without charging my Chromebook. CHROMEBOOKS MUST BE BROUGHT TO SCHOOL EACH DAY FULLY CHARGED. Students are responsible for fully charging their Chromebooks before arriving to school.
Should I use the sound while at school? Sound must be muted at all times unless otherwise directed by the teacher. Headphones may be used at the discretion of the teacher or in permitted areas such as study halls, library, cafeteria, etc.
I forgot my password and cannot login. Reset your password by following the “Reset Password” steps for students at: https://accounts.pvsd.org
I left my Chromebook in an unsupervised area. Students are responsible for direct supervision of their assigned Chromebook. If an unsupervised Chromebook is found, notify a teacher immediately.
While we encourage freedom of expression, it is with the responsibility of being ever mindful of others who may not share the same life experiences. Therefore, actions not in line with these guidelines will be considered an act of vandalism, and subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the student handbook and other applicable school policies.
