What if I want my student to use an RPS Chromebook instead of a device from home?
If you would like your student to borrow a Chromebook from RPS, please read the RPS Technology Plan.
What about a laptop? Do I need to provide one?
RPS high schools follow a 1:1 format where each student is expected to bring a device to school, fully charged.
Also, please note the Student Device Management information regarding fees for damaged devices.
