 Q:Why do the 6th graders get Chromebooks and not the older kids?

A: MSA has issued its 6th grade students Chromebooks this year as it begins to transition out some of its other laptops. While the Chromebooks have limited capabilities when compared with the other student laptops issued by MSA, they offer more durability and are smaller in size. At this time, issuing the Chromebooks to older students would have caused some software access issues such as Photoshop and SketchUp. However, MSA is always evaluating options, and may consider switching to Chromebooks for the older kids as technology and curriculum change.
