Senior Chromebook Information

You have the opportunity to purchase your student issued Chromebook for $20. The fee can be paid via MyPaymentsPlus or with cash/ check in the school office with Mrs. Brandt. This must be paid before May 14th so the fee doesn’t affect your test exemption. If you are NOT interested in purchasing your Chromebook, you must fill out this Google Form, and then arrangements can be made to get your Chromebook returned.

Once you graduate, you will no longer have access to your BPSapps which includes your Google Drive account. Here are the directions for transferring all of your Google Apps information to a personal gmail account. If you have questions, or need assistance, please stop into the Library for help. After graduation (if you purchased your Chromebook), your device will be removed from the BPS domain, and you will log into it with a personal gmail account. If it is still managed by BPS mid-June, follow these directions to remove it from the domain.
