Important Information

Devices will be distributed to all grade levels on the first in-school attendance date.

We are pleased to announce the continuation of the Acushnet Public Schools 1:1 Chromebook initiative. As a result of this initiative, all students in grades K-8 will be issued a school-owned Chromebook that will be available to them at all times, whether at school or home.

Through a blended approach students will communicate with teachers and peers, collaborate and demonstrate their learning. This blended learning approach also offers a diversified learning experience that meets the needs of all students learning styles.

We strive to provide students with on demand access to technology. Chromebooks will provide the opportunities for students to think critically in a collaborative environment. Through exploration and inquiry, students will be able to communicate their ideas creatively in manners that were not previously available to them.

• Access to technology affords students the ability to obtain necessary information when it is needed.

• The integration of technology into teacher’s instruction can more easily take place when devices can be in the hands of every student at all times.

• Students would be encouraged to be creative in their demonstration of concept mastery. We need to move students away from simply being consumers of information to producers of knowledge.

• Collaboration and Communication (21st Century Skills) with both teachers and peers should be an essential component of all areas of instruction.

• Access to technology in the form of a laptop or Chromebook is now considered to be a tool just like the pencil. It is our job to increase the computer literacy of our students and prepare them for the real world that is their future.
