Chromebook Take-home Process

All students are required to check-out a Chromebook for the school year whether they want to use it or not. Students that have trouble checking out a device are more than likely not following one of the procedures, missing important documentation, or trying at an inappropriate time. Use this page to answer any questions about the Chromebook take-home process here at AK. These processes are established by AK Technology Services and CMS IT.

When are Chromebooks available for check-out?

In the months of August and January Chromebook distribution happens a full week in those months during all homeroom, lunch periods and enrichment times. For the remainder of each semester, Chromebooks are only distributed to newly enrolled students.

Read the student requirements below to remind students what to bring in order to receive a device. Please encourage students to listen to announcements and watch their announcement document for updates on Chromebook distribution days.
