Dear Graduating Students,

It is hard to believe that we are nearing the end of the school year and that it was just a few short years ago that every WRDSB student entering grade 9 received a Chromebook for school use.

Time to return Chromebooks:

Chromebooks and their charging cords are the property of the Waterloo Region District School Board and must be returned upon graduation, or when a student transfers from our Board.

If you are a GRADUATING STUDENT who is leaving the WRDSB you are expected to return your Chromebook and charger to Ms. Penteker in the IT Office (located in the library) on the day of your last class (Tuesday, June 21st or Friday, June 24).

Chromebooks are to be returned regardless of their condition. Students will not be charged if they return a damaged device. Replacement devices do have a charge. Chromebooks that are not returned will be disabled by WRDSB Information Technology Services.

Google Accounts:

Students graduating this semester or who are leaving the WRDSB will have their Google Drive and email accounts closed a few weeks after the school year ends. These students are STRONGLY recommended to back up all documents and emails to their personal drive/accounts before the end of the year.  Apps such as Google Takeout can make this process easier. Students should consider following this tutorial to assist with the process.
