Chromebook Program and Device Protection
Chromebooks

Chromebooks enhance student learning across all grade levels. Students in grades 6–12 are issued individual Chromebooks to take between home and school, while our K–5 classrooms are equipped with class sets to ensure our youngest learners build strong digital foundations.
Chromebooks serve as a tool for learning giving students access to educational apps, digital library resources, independent research tools, keyboarding practice, online assessments and more. By integrating technology directly into daily instruction, we empower students to collaborate, think critically, and develop essential digital literacy skills for the future.
All students are expected to follow the guidelines outlined in our Acceptable Use Policy notified through Skyward at registration. This includes using the technology strictly for educational purposes, practicing respectful digital citizenship and use of Artificial Intelligence, and keeping personal accounts secure.
For our older students who carry their Chromebooks home, responsibility also means expectations of physical care and daily preparation: devices should be carried safely, kept away from food or liquids, and plugged in to charge every night so students arrive at school each morning fully powered and ready to learn. With family support at home and guidance from our teachers in the classroom, we can maximize these tools to support a successful school year!
Device Protection
While Chromebooks are issued at no fee, Navarro ISD offers an optional insurance plan through our third-party vendor, Securranty. This insurance is highly recommended as it can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs for damages or loss.

Cost: The price per student for the 2026-27 school year is $27.95. This slight increase reflects the rising cost of replacement parts.

Notices and Consent
-
Before students receive their devices, we ask that parents and students review and agree to the Device Usage Agreement during registration in Skyward. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions for the responsible use of Navarro ISD devices, ensuring a positive and productive learning environment for all. As partners in educating our children, it's important that parents are aware of the importance of the devices to continue and support learning. We encourage you to have conversations at home about device care and respect for district property. Your support in emphasizing responsible use can significantly help us manage these expenses and ensure resources are maximized for student growth.
