Class of 2022: Chromebook "Buy Out" Payment Due TODAY if keeping your Chromebook
When
5/26/2022

Dear parent or guardian of a graduating senior,

As the school year draws to a close, we want to thank you for your support during the initial year of the OLSH 1:1 Chromebook initiative, and inform you about Chromebook collection procedures and a buy-out/purchase option for the OLSH Class of 2022.

All seniors were issued a brand new Chromebook and accessory items, including a case and a charger with a power cord.  These items must be returned undamaged and in good condition OR purchased at the cost determined by OLSH ( see options and details below).  Please complete the Google Form linked below to indicate your intention by Monday, May 16, 2022.

Buy-out/purchase option: Class of 2022 graduating seniors will have an option to buy-out their 10 month old OLSH-issued Chromebook with all accessories by Thursday, May 26, 2022 at a total cost of $200.  If purchased the Chromebook will be disenrolled from OLSH and the device will be reset to its original factory settings.  More information with instructions will be communicated to you directly if you choose this option.  The student will have complete ownership of the device; OLSH will no longer be responsible for it.

The $200 payment for the Chromebook buy-out can be made directly to the OLSH Business Office.  This purchase is non-refundable.

Return option:  Class of 2022 graduating seniors who are not purchasing their Chromebook will need to return it to the Technology Department no later than Tuesday, May 31st by 9:30AM in order to pick up their caps and gowns for graduation.  A station/table will be set up at the entrance to the AAC before and after all Senior final exams.  If your student is not taking final exams, they can make arrangements to drop off the Chromebook in the library to either Mrs. Krueger or Mrs. Cvitkovic. Failure to return the Chromebook and accessories will result in a charge for the full replacement cost and will delay issuing of your student’s official final transcript and diploma.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, IF RETURNING THE CHROMEBOOK…
  • The Chromebook, the case and the charger should be returned undamaged and in excellent condition as they are only 10 months old.  Chromebooks must be free of any writing, drawing, stickers or labels that are not the property of OLSH.  Asset tags should not be modified or tampered with in any way.
  • When the Chromebook is returned it should be powered ON with the screen ON to show that the device is working and the screen is free from cracks/errors.  If, upon inspection of the Chromebook and accessories, there is any evidence of abuse, neglect or intentional damage, a fee will be charged for needed repairs, as outlined in the following table:
