KSD Remote Support (Support Code Required)

Student Chromebooks and iPads

As we assign iPads to kindergarten through second-grade students and Chromebooks to third-grade through 12th-grade students, we require that parents log in at ps.ksd.org and follow instructions on how to log in, create an account and electronically sign a permission form.

As part of the permission form, parents have the option of allowing their child to take their assigned Chromebook home or keep it at school and have it checked in/out each school day. Additional information about student use expectations, safety, and care are included in the One-To-One Responsibilities Manual that parents will review before signing the permission form.

Where can new students check out a Chromebook or iPad?
New students should check out a Chromebook or iPad from the school where they are enrolled. The Information Technology department, located in the KSD Administration Center, does not check out student devices. 
 
Where can a student leaving the district turn in their computer device?
Chromebooks and iPads may be returned to the student’s school or the KSD Administration Center.
 
Can a student check out a loaner computer device while their Chromebook or iPad is being repaired?
If a current student’s Chromebook or iPad is being repaired, loaner computer devices are available at each school. Schools also have extra power chargers available, but fees may apply for a replacement.
