Your student's Chromebook is the property of the Franklin Public Schools and is theirs to use as long as they are a Franklin High School student. Once they either withdraw from Franklin High School or are about to graduate, they must return their Chromebook to the FHS Library/Media center. There will be specific times for graduating seniors to return their Chromebooks after they have completed their final exams. Withdrawing students must return their chromebooks & chargers  during the withdrawal process or their family will receive a bill for $250.00 to replace it. You must return the school issued charger or you will be billed $40.00.

Chromebook Insurance 2024-2025

Insurance can be purchased for your student's Chromebook for the entire year, including the summer, the price for the 2024-2025 is yet to be determined. The policy you purchase for your student's Chromebook is good from the day you purchase it until the day before the next school year starts. The online payment portal for Chromebook Insurance will be found at the end of the Chromebook Registration form.   New students that register to attend FHS after the insurance payment portal closes have one week to pay this fee by check, if they desire. Although not mandatory, the Insurance is highly recommended. Anyone wanting to purchase the Chromebook Insurance during the purchase period may do so by making a check out to Town Of Franklin and dropping off in the Main Office or mailing it to the FHS Main Office 218 Oak Street, Franklin, MA 02038.  Insurance covers standard breakage, malfunctions. It does not cover intentional damage or loss of the Chromebook.  

Problems with your Chromebook?

If your student is having issues with their Chromebook, they can stop in the Library/Media center.  If the issue is not able to be solved there, then the Chromebook technician will take your student's Chromebook and send it out for repair, while giving them a library loaner to use in the interim. They will be contacted once their Chromebook has been repaired.
