1to1 @ Laconia Program
For the 2025-2026 1to1@Laconia program, all students will utilize a Chromebook as their personal computing device. A Chromebook is a small laptop computer about the size of a small textbook that runs Google Chrome OS and is primarily designed to run the Google Chrome browser and Android apps. A Chromebook can provide anytime, anywhere access to information and learning as long as there is Internet access available.
The fee for the Chromebooks for the incoming freshmen class, and returning sophomores will be $50.00, and all juniors and seniors will be $55.00, which includes the cost of the Chromebook and charger, case and Google Management licensing fees. This price does not include insurance coverage. Students who qualify for free and reduced lunch may have lower yearly payments, similar to the reduction given for other programs or registration fees.
Insurance coverage for negligence will be made available for purchase to all students. Please be advised that insurance is not provided by the district. Insurance options are available through Worth Ave. Group and insurance coverage can be applied for through this portal https://gpo.worthavegroup.com/gpo/rbsd/. The insurance portal for enrollment will be open from August 1, 2025 thru September 12, 2025.
It is highly recommended to purchase insurance, especially, if your student received an invoice for damages in middle school and/or a fee in high school. The cost of insurance, depending on your device model, is nominal compared with the repair costs you may be charged if damages occur during the school year (see the Device Damage Fee & Repair Cost Table below).
Please be advised that the insurance only covers the device it was intended for and does not cover the loaner made available when a student’s device is out for repair. If there is any damage to the loaner, the student will be responsible for its repair.
If you would like extra protection for your student’s Chromebook, please consider purchasing some type of rugged protective case, other than the one provided.
