At the end of the 2013/2014 school year Santa Rosa Academy introduced a Chromebook Pilot program with some Red/White Track middle school students. The students checked out the ChromeBooks from the Technology Center and were able to take the Chromebooks home to enhance their homeschooling experience at no cost to the students family.

 

Starting with the 2014/2015 school year our goal is to provide free of charge Chromebooks for all 6th-12th grade Red/White Track students to receive more engaging and more personalized instruction to enhance their learning.
