Grades 6-12 1:1 Device Program

At CSS, we believe learning extends beyond technology—but when technology is used, every student should have reliable access, consistent support, and a secure digital environment that allows them to focus on exploration, collaboration, and learning by doing.

Why we are making this change

Our school-issued device program is designed to support students and families in several important ways:

• Greater equity and simplicity for families.
• Improved student safety and cybersecurity.
• Enhanced learning support through a consistent platform.
• A more reliable technology experience across classrooms.

With school-issued devices, families no longer need to research, purchase, or replace devices on their own. This helps ensure a consistent, high-quality learning experience for all students.

Because all students will use the same type of device, teachers can spend less time troubleshooting and more time facilitating meaningful learning experiences. Students will also benefit from devices that are configured specifically for learning at CSS, helping reduce interruptions and improve compatibility across classrooms.

Device use and expectations

Students will be issued a school device each year. As long as they remain enrolled, they may keep the device and will not need to return it before graduation, unless the device is no longer usable or needs to be replaced due to age or hardware issues.

Families are responsible for purchasing a protective case for the device. Students may personalize their case, including adding stickers, as long as the device remains protected and in good condition.

The financially responsible parent/guardian and the student must sign our Device Use Agreement. This agreement remains in effect from year to year while the student is enrolled at CSS.

Security and support

School-issued devices allow CSS to strengthen digital safety practices through filtering, network protections, and consistent device management. This supports responsible technology use while helping create a secure and student-centered learning environment.

To support a smooth start, device assignment information, pickup schedules, and signed agreement requirements will be shared with families before distribution.
