Student Device Loaner Program
AACPS Student Device Loaner Program
AACPS will continue to provide student devices for use as an instructional tool throughout the school day. The AACPS Student Device Loaner Program provides a device to students that need a device to support learning at home. If approved for participation in the program, students will be assigned a Chromebook. The Chromebook needs to be transported back and forth between home and school as it will be used by the student throughout the school day.
