The Media Center, room 210, is located on the bottom floor of the STEM building. The center includes, study space, soft seating, print stations, library books, textbooks, and Chromebooks. Materials in the Media Center are available for student checkout with their current student ID. Library books are loaned for six weeks. A replacement student ID card may be purchased for $10 in the Activities office. Lost textbooks/library books and Chromebooks will be charged at the replacement cost.
One-to-One Chromebook Program
A “1:1 Chromebook program” means every student has their own school-provided Chromebook that is assigned to them for the duration of their LAHS career. Students have full use of the provided Chromebook 24/7, and as school property the device includes District internet filters that filter browsing content both at school and at home.
- Students are responsible for bringing their school-issued Chromebook or personal laptop/Chromebook fully charged to school, every day.
- The protective Chromebook padded sleeve should be used when storing or transporting the school issued device.
What students should do when they forget their device, lose it, or forget to charge it?
- Students should go to the school media center before school to pick up a loaner device, so that they can continue to access school material with minimal disruption to their learning.
- Students with lost or damaged devices should report this to the school librarian for repairs, replacement, and possible billing.
- Optional school-provided insurance is available for purchase by each family, covering repairs for accidental damage up to the replacement cost of a Chromebook annually.
