    Technology Checklist

    Scholars should familiarize themselves with the technology platforms and operations that we use as a 1:1 school.  On the left side of the document, look for the issue or problem with their device or platform. The lefthand column provides the solution with video instructions or a document listing instructions. There are helpful videos and instructions for scholars to learn more about how to access our technology and organize their school work.

  • AUP and CGWA Chromebook Pledge

    Scholars new to Fayette County Public Schools will need to fill out an Acceptable Use Policy to be signed by them and their parents/guardians. This gives scholars full access to educational sites on their chromebook.  If the AUP is violated in any way, scholars will lose that privilege. The AUP can be found on the district's website at https://www.fcps.net/cms/lib/KY01807169/Centricity/Domain/64/FCPS%20District%20AUP%20-%20June%202018.pdf 

    Scholars are also asked to turn in a Chromebook Pledge.  A sample of that pledge can be viewed below.  Scholars will be given a copy of the pledge at the beginning of each school year.
