Utah Online School offers loaner devices to qualifying students free-of-charge for the duration of their enrollment with UOS. Please view the appropriate option below for further details.
Chromebook Checkout (Grades K-5)
- Computer-to-Student Ratio: One computer will be offered for every child who is enrolled in UOS K-5 school.
- User Agreement: Students and their parents must read and agree to all pages of the Utah Online School Computing Device Contract. This is a very important document that contains many answers to questions that you may have about this opportunity.
- Chromebook Boxes: If you do decide to check out a Chromebook, you will be asked to keep the box that it comes in so you will have it available at the time of return.
- Pickup: The computers are available to pick up from your homeroom teacher.
- Support: Google has provided us with some support and FAQs for Chromebook on this webpage: Chromebook Support
- Returns: Once checked out, the Chromebook is yours to use as long as you are enrolled in the school. Upon withdrawal from Utah Online, the Chromebook will need to be returned to the school. The Chromebook can be returned directly to your UOS teacher or through the mail. Contact your teacher for instructions to return it by mail.
- Approved Apps: Apps need to be approved before they are downloaded on the Chromebooks. Click here to see a list of approved apps and also to request the approval of any additional apps: Approved Apps
