1 to 1 Device Information
As was started in 2022, the Ashburnham Westminster Regional School District will be continuing its 1:1 Chromebook initiative. All students grades K-12 will be issued a Chromebook to use both in school and at home. Students will keep this device until they either leave the district or until they reach a grade level where the devices are replaced. Students will receive a new device in grades K, 5 and 9.Frequently Asked Questions
How does a student log into a device?
Chromebooks are logged into using the student's Google login credentials. District issued devices can only be logged into with district issued credentials.
How do I obtain the login credentials for my student?
All students have their own Google credentials for logging in to their Chromebooks. Student credentials typically follow this format:

Beginning with the class of 2035, Google credentials will follow this format:
<first initial><middle initial><last name>.<year of graduation>@student.awrsd.org
