Greetings Cradlerock Families,
As part of a grant from the State of Maryland’s Connected Devices Program, our school is partnering again with the Bright Minds Foundation and the Howard County Government to continue to provide qualifying families with one free Chromebook and charger per household. This opportunity was offered to families in the Fall, and we are excited that Bright Minds has additional Chromebooks to offer this Spring.
This free new HP Chromebook can be used to connect with schools, access community services, for personal work purposes or for any other reason that benefits your family. In order to qualify for a free Chromebook and charger, you must meet the following criteria:
- Your family has not already received a free device from one of these organizations: Community Action Council of Howard County, Howard County Office of Children and Families, or Making Change;
- You are the parent or legal guardian of a student currently enrolled in HCPSS;
- You meet ONE of the income qualifications outlined on the application form; and,
- The application form is fully completed.
If you qualify for a Chromebook and have completed the Google Form application, you will be notified when the device is available for pick up. At that time, an adult family member will need to come to the school to receive the device. When you pick up the device, you will receive information about setting up the device and how to access technical support. These are not HCPSS devices and will not come loaded with any HCPSS educational applications. HCPSS is not responsible or liable for the operation, loss, or repair of your Chromebook or charger. Families will be responsible for their own internet service. Families will have 5 days to exchange any non-functioning devices.
Please read the instructions and complete the Free Chromebooks for Eligible HCPSS Parents or Guardians Google Form at this link. If you have any questions, please contact our outstanding Family Involvement Contact, Kathleen Miller, at Kathleen_Miller1@hcpss.org. We are thrilled to once again partner with Bright Minds Foundation and the Howard County Government to provide our families this outstanding opportunity.
