Families in the SJB 1:1 grades 4-8 must purchase:
1. Chromebook with camera and microphone
2. Sturdy Case (available through SJB, estimated cost $26-$30)
3. Google Chrome Management License ($36 fee to be collected through the electronic tuition service if your Chromebook was NOT purchased from CTL.)
4. Earbuds
5. Mouse (USB or wireless-now optional, but was previously required)
6. We recommend the purchase of additional Accidental Damage Warranty, but it is not required. The device will be used for several years (grades 4-8). You may prefer to purchase a new device rather than maintain insurance over the four year period.
Required Specifications
● Chromebook with a camera and microphone
● 4 GB of RAM (minimum)
● 1080p screen resolution (minimum)
● Earbuds
● Mouse (Can be wireless or standard USB mouse.)
● Chromebook Case (an order will be placed by the school)
Estimated cost: $26 to be collected through the electronic tuition payment system. The Bubble II is a sturdy protective case with a pocket for the required mouse (wired or usb) and earbuds. The mouse and earbuds must be in the Chromebook case everyday.
● Google Chrome Management License
If purchasing through CTL, this is automatically added to your order. If not ordering through CTL, you must purchase through the school at the cost of $36 which will be collected through the electronic tuition payment system.
Additional Options to Consider:
● Chromebooks based on Intel Core CPUs like the Core i3 and the Core i5 will allow for more able multitasking. The faster the processor, the happier your child will be in class when loading online textbooks.
● Rotatable, or dual, camera.
● Touch screen
● Tablet version
● Look for a USB port or two if you plan to connect a mouse or other peripheral with a wire.
● Larger screen size and/or higher screen resolution (Minimum 1080p. Beware of low cost devices-they often have lower resolution. Higher Resolution = Sharper Images)
● Extended warranty/insurance
Families are not required to purchase from CTL.
You may purchase the device anywhere.
