Christine Sklareski 1.2 7 **At the Chromebook collection in May, students in grades 4 and 8 will turn in their current Chromebooks and at the same time receive their new Chromebooks.** This process will eliminate the need for families to pick up new Chromebooks over the summer. Keep in mind that new Chromebooks will only be issued upon the return of their previous device.
