New to the District

Welcome to our school district. We are happy to have you here at Paynesville Area Schools! In order to provide greater access to technology, our district made the decision to go 1:1 beginning at the start of the 2017-2018 school year. Each student in grades 6-12 is provided a school issued Chromebook at no charge. This Chromebook is theirs to keep through their time here at Paynesville (even during the summer months). Before we are able to distribute a Chromebook to your student, there are a few office tasks to take care of.

Step 1

Familiarize yourself with the rest of this website (you can return to this page by clicking the link at the top right of the page or in the sidebar of the mobile site). All of the information about our initiative is posted on here and should be able to answer any question that you may have. If the case comes up where you don't find an answer, do not hesitate to contact us at technology@isd741.org.

Step 2

Go to the Chromebook Insurance Online Form by clicking HERE. Read through the form and fill it out online. You can also download and print the form located here for each of your children. If you are unable to print it at home, the form can be obtained at the High School Office. This form lets us know whether you would like a Chromebook issued to your student(s) or not (we need to know either way) and it is a place to accept or deny the Chromebook insurance policy we have available for purchase (you can pay for the Chromebook insurance by cash (exact amount please), check (written to PAS) or online in Infinite Campus (directions to help with that here)). We need a form for each of your children.

Step 3

Have your child(ren) turn in the form (and payment if applicable) in the high school office within one week after they start classes. The technology department will receive it from them and get your child(ren)'s Chromebook(s) ready to go for them to use. Once ready, they will be called down to the Middle School Media Center to receive their Chromebook.

After your student(s) receive their devices, they will go through training on digital citizenship and correct usage of their Chromebook.
