Eastland-Fairfield is proud to be a 1:1 technology school. Every student enrolled in a program at Eastland or Fairfield Career Center is automatically provided a Chromebook for their educational journey, at no charge.

Families have the option to purchase a protection plan for their student's Chromebook in the case of accidental damage or theft. This is not mandatory and is available in one or two-year plans.

Students who complete their two-year program at Eastland-Fairfield may choose to keep their EFCTS-issued Chromebook, free of charge. After graduation, data will be remotely cleaned from the Chromebook and the student will need to set up the device with their own personal Google account. This option is not mandatory and students may return their Chromebook to EFCTS after program completion, if desired.

Note: Students enrolled in a one-year, senior-only are not eligible to keep their Chromebook. Seniors in these programs will be granted the full 1:1 technology experience but must return their Chromebook upon graduation.

Graduating seniors that successfully complete their lab program at Eastland-Fairfield are eligible to keep the Chromebook issued to them at the beginning of their EFCTS experience. If a student is keeping their Chromebook, please note:

• The device will be remotely reformatted (erased) shortly after Senior Recognition ceremonies

• Data stored on the cloud can be transferred to a personal Gmail account

• Data stored locally (in My Documents or your desktop) must be transferred manually (external hard drive, thumb drive, etc.)

• You will need a personal Gmail account to reactivate the Chromebook

• Access to students accounts will not be available after June 1. Please plan accordingly.

The Eastland-Fairfield IT Department has created a step-by-step tutorial video to show students how to complete the data transfer process and how to begin using the Chromebook on their personal Gmail account after it is remotely wiped clean.
