Personalizing the Chromebook:
Chromebooks must remain free of any decorative writing, drawing, stickers, paint, tape or
labels that are not the Property of Spring Lake School District. Spot checks for compliance
will be done by administration or the Technology Coordinator at any time.
Students may add appropriate themes, music, photos and videos to their Chromebook.
Personalized media are subject to inspection and must follow the Spring Lake School District
acceptable use policy.
Software on Chromebooks:
Originally Installed Software: Chromebook software is delivered via the Chrome Web Store.
These are web-based applications that do not require installation space on a hard drive. Some
applications, such as Google Drive, are available for offline use. The software originally installed
on the Chromebook must remain on the Chromebook in usable condition and easily accessible
at all times.
All Chromebooks are supplied with the latest build of Google Chrome Operating System (OS),
and many other applications useful in an educational environment. The Chrome OS will
automatically install updates when the computer is shutdown and restarted.
From time to time the school may add software applications for use in a particular course. This
process will be automatic with virtually no impact on students.
Virus Protection: Virus protection is unnecessary on the Chromebook due to the unique nature
of its design.
Additional Software: Students are unable to install additional software on their Chromebook
other than what has been approved by HW Mountz School.
Inspection: Students may be selected at random to provide their Chromebook for inspection.
The purpose for inspection will be to check for proper care and maintenance as well as
inappropriate material being carried into the school.
Procedure for Restoring the Chrome OS:
In the event of a malfunctioning device, a restore may need to be performed. Restoring the
Chrome OS will restore the device to the state in which the user originally received it. All
