Christine Sklareski 27.1 6 At the Chromebook collection in May, students in grades 4 and 8 will turn in their current Chromebooks and receive their new Chromebooks at the same time. 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 the previous device.
