What is a Chromebook and how is it different from a laptop?

Watch video "Introducing the Chromebook".

I already have a device. Can I have my student bring that to school instead of buying one?

All 9th graders will receive a device from the school. The classes of 2021 and 2022 may bring their own device. However, you should be aware of the minimum requirements for third party devices. Also, there are some major disadvantages to this approach. See the "Devices" page for details.

What happens when my student leaves DRHS?

If a student is part of the TechForEd program or a student has borrowed a device from the school, then their device must be returned to the school. If a student has purchased his/her device, then upon leaving the device will be removed from the Jeffco Domain and the device will then need to be reset. Instructions will be shared at time of student withdrawal.

Can students print from a Chromebook?

Students can print from their school device in the DRHS library.

Can a Chromebook be used offline?

Yes, but you will need to do a few things ahead of time when you are online. Watch this video tutorial for instructions.

Can I use a phone as a device?

No. Open this document to see reasons why.

Can I use an iPad as a device?

Preferably not.
