Students in PreK-K are issued a tablet to access learning applications. Each student in grades 1-12 is issued a Chromebook for educational purposes. Students are expected to bring their Chromebook to class each day, fully charged and ready to use.

Students use their devices to access and complete course assignments, collaborate on projects, participate in discussions, and access learning applications. 

ACPS utilizes a variety of applications to support learning.  Students access their ACPS learning applications by logging into Clever.  Clever provides a single sign-on experience and protects student data from third-party vendors.

ACPS is recognized by Common Sense Education as a division "committed to creating a culture of digital learning and citizenship". Students in ACPS receive digital citizenship instruction using resources from Common Sense Education's Digital Citizenship Curriculum. These age-appropriate resources cover a wide variety of topics, including Internet safety, information literacy, digital communication, and cyberbullying.

Our Digital Citizenship Vision:
In ACPS, we promote efforts to enable students to be healthy and ready to learn. This includes safe, ethical, and respectful behaviors when interacting with peers and adults in digital environments. We aim for all students to understand the rights, roles, and responsibilities of being digital citizens.
