Chesterfield County Public Schools has a new four-year lease for Chromebooks, starting with the 2025-26 school year. This transition requires collecting all existing Chromebooks and chargers before this school year ends. When the next school year begins, new Chromebooks will be distributed to students.
Each school will communicate with its students and families about that school’s specific dates for testing and Chromebook returns. Also, it’s important to note that Chromebooks will be provided to students as required for summer school, official CCPS summer programs and summer CCPSOnline courses.
Here’s how elementary schools (except Bellwood) will collect Chromebooks:
Starting May 12, schools will collect Chromebooks from grades K-2. These grades are going first because they do not take Standards of Learning tests or exams, which require Chromebooks. Students in grades 1-2 need to return their Chromebooks and chargers to school May 12. Chromebooks will be collected from kindergarten classrooms at the same time.
Grades 3-5 need access to Chromebooks for testing, so devices will be collected when testing concludes. Students must bring their Chromebooks and chargers to school for SOL tests. When testing is finished in May, the devices will remain at the school. At each school, Chromebooks will be provided for students who need to retake tests.
Here’s how Bellwood Elementary, which follows a year-round calendar, will collect Chromebooks: At the start of Bellwood Elementary’s 2025-26 school year, students will turn in their Chromebooks and receive new Chromebooks. July 21 is the first day of school for Bellwood Elementary.
Here’s how the Chesterfield Virtual School (grades K-8) will collect Chromebooks: Students need to return Chromebooks and chargers to the Chesterfield Virtual School after testing concludes and before the last day of school on May 30.
Here’s how middle schools and high schools will collect Chromebooks: Grades 6-12 need access to Chromebooks for testing, so devices will be collected when testing concludes in May. Students must bring their Chromebooks and chargers to school for SOL tests and exams. When testing is finished, the devices will remain at the school. High schools may also offer seniors the opportunity to return Chromebooks at graduation practice. At each school, Chromebooks will be provided for students who need to retake tests.
