Summer Chromebook Access

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to ensure our students have every opportunity to keep learning and practicing over the summer. To support continuous learning and curiosity, we are excited to announce that students will be permitted to take their school-issued Chromebooks home for the summer break!

Having access to these devices allows students to bridge the "summer slide" by engaging with familiar educational tools and exploring new interests at their own pace.

Important Details

• Responsibility: While the devices are at home, we ask that you help your child keep the Chromebook in a safe, dry place and ensure it is charged and ready for the first day of school in the fall. Repair fees will still be assessed if a device gets damaged or broken.

• Safety: Student content filtering will remain active on all devices and will be monitored by the District Technology Department. Any online activity that violates the student use policy will result in the student's account being disabled. We encourage you to continue monitoring your child’s online activity.

• Resource Availability: Students will be able to access digital resources through the myParkway (my.parkwayschools.net) portal and be able to use them on either their Parkway-issued Chromebook or a personal device.

• Opting In: We understand that some families may prefer not to have a school device at home over the summer. If you would like to opt in and have your student bring their Chromebook home for the summer, please fill out the Summer Device Checkout Form linked below by Monday, May 18th. Students who do not opt in will return their devices to their teacher during the final week of school.

• Summer Technology Support: If your student has a problem with their Chromebook or accessing resources during the summer, please contact our Technology Help Desk at helpdesk@parkwayschools.net or at 314-415-8181, option 1.
