The mission of the Take Home Device Initiative in the Bainbridge Island School District is to create a collaborative learning environment for all learners and increase access to learning resources. This environment supports students and teachers in the use of technology to enhance student learning and engagement in the classroom. It creates equity and levels the playing field for all learners by providing every student with a device (a Chromebook) to use both in school and at home.

We recommend students and guardians contact their school’s Building Technology Support Specialist for any support issues, or questions, or to report damage to the device.

NOTE: The content filter used in the district to block inappropriate internet content will be enforced when the Chromebook is used off-campus (for example when used at home, in the public library, or local coffee shop). The content filter will allow access to approved educational resources, such as G-Suite for Education, online textbooks, educational web-based tools, and many other useful websites.
