The Coeur d’Alene School District is offering Google Chromebook device checkout to allow students without access to plug into educational resources during this critical time in their academic journeys.

Device pickup for middle and high school students who have made the request is scheduled for Wednesday from 9 to 11 a.m. at each school. Elementary students will pick up theirs on Monday from 9 - 11 a.m.

Families are asked to use the student dropoff lane at their student’s middle or high school and remain in the vehicle until a staff member is available to help.

School district communications director Scott Maben said the district has received about 1,650 requests from families in need of tech for their children to use.

“At this point we can’t know if the school building closure will last a few more weeks or longer,” Maben said. “We have been providing at-home learning resources online, but we know not all families have a device that their students can use, or internet access. Some households may have multiple children sharing one device.”
