Chromebook Fees

Students in grades 5–12 are eligible to participate in the District’s Chromebook program. In order to participate, students are required to pay a yearly fee to cover the protection plan for their Chromebook. The annual fee is $40.00 (reduced to $15 for financial hardship). This fee has been posted for all students in these grades and can be paid through the PowerSchool parent portal. Payment may also be made in person via cash, check, or money order made out to Pennsbury School District at each student’s individual school.

If you have more than two students in grades 5–12, you may request an exemption from the fee for your youngest student(s). To do so, please click on the Forms icon in the parent portal and fill out the “Chromebook Fee Waiver for Three or More Students in Household” form.

More information on Pennsbury’s 1:1 Chromebook initiative is available on the Family Tech Hub.
