PCS is excited to announce we are  moving to a 1:1 model for Chromebook usage starting Friday, January 8th, 2026, in line with current best educational practices. This change was made in careful consultation with the PCS Board, community, faculty and staff through the use of one-time grant funds. This will both significantly expand student access to school-provided and monitored technology, while allowing us to move forward with policy work that will limit personal cell phone use.

Within the next few school days, all students must bring our revised Technology Use Agreement signed by their parent or guardian and pick-up their Chromebook for necessary educational use both at school and at home. Most of this document is language that has been in the technology agreement families agree to every year. However, there is some new language around ensuring student internet safety and specific language around student responsibilities with the assigned Chromebooks.  (See the section “PCS 1 to 1 Chromebook Initiative" for majority of the new policies).

Pacific Collegiate School is aware of both the tremendous educational importance of technology in our classrooms as well as the inherent pitfalls that come with students having access to technology. For a comprehensive list of the current apps that are available on PCS Chromebooks, please go to https://tinyurl.com/PCSChromebookapps.  

We will be working in partnership with families, students, and parents to ensure that students have access to the educational tools that they need while also ensuring student safety. The school does have filters that will be limiting access to teacher-approved YouTube content, social media sites, and chatbots. If you or your student find that students either are limited in accessing a site that has a legitimate educational purpose, or if you find that students have access to a site that is inappropriate for school, please go to https://tinyurl.com/PCSTechReporting.

There will be two opportunities for community input on January 22nd and March 19th in the student center at 5:30 pm. If you have immediate questions or concerns about this issue, please contact Faculty Dean Lauren Friend (lauren.friend@pcscharter.org) or Head of School Chris Guyer (chris.guyer@pcscharter.org).  

In addition, if students have concerns or questions that they wish to address to administration, we invite them to a special student town hall tomorrow from 10:35 - 11:15 in Room 214.

In community, Your PCS Team
