Beginning with the 2012-2013 school year, Leyden High School District 212 transitioned to a fully 1:1 teaching and learning environment.  Almost every student is issued a district-owned Chromebook to use while they are enrolled in the district.  Students are responsible for the care and maintenenance of their devices and may get service and support through the Tech Support Internship (TSI) classroom in each building.  It is a requirement that students bring their device to school each day with a fully charged battery.  If a student damages his/her Chromebook, the student will be responsible for the cost to repair the device, but a loaner will be issued to the student while his/her assigned Chromebook is being fixed.
