Student/Parent Mobile Computing Device Handbook
All Watauga County Schools students issued a Chromebook for use in their classes. These devices are an integral part of the innovative teaching and learning central to our mission. The Mobile Computing Device Handbook provides general guidelines and district policies regarding chromebook use. Parents and students will sign this agreement prior to being issued a school device.
