1:1 Chromebook Program

Grand Blanc Community Schools will provide each student in grades 3 through 12, and all Bobcat Innovation students, a Chromebook for school and home use.  Students will hold on to the device year-round and will only turn the device in if they are exiting from GBCS or the entire grade is receiving new devices.

Chromebook Program Key Points
  • Students will be assigned a take-home Chromebook device at various stages of their academic career depending on funding, device function, etc. in grades 3-12 and all grades of Bobcat Innovation.
  • Students in grades K-2 will have an assigned device in a classroom cart that will stay at school*.
  • The device will come in a protective case.
  • Devices will be kept for around 5 years or until the student graduates.  This cycle can vary at times depending on funding sources and availability.  It is the intention to have students retain their original Chromebook each year while enrolled in Grand Blanc Community Schools**
  • Families in grades 3rd-12th and all Bobcat Innovation families will be able to purchase optional protection each year to help defray the cost in the event of accidental breakage.
  • Teachers have had professional development opportunities and currently have coaching available throughout the year. 
*All Bobcat Innovation students, grades K-12, will be assigned a take-home device
**Students do not have a separate right to a certain device.  It is the District’s intention to issue the same device barring abuse, breakage, theft, etc.
