FAQs

Yes.

Students will use district 1:1 devices during classroom instruction.

Pearland ISD does not recommend the use of Chromebooks.

LockDown Browser for Chromebook uses a Chrome Extension that can only be run in kiosk mode. Google requires that all kiosk apps be managed via their Google Admin Suite (a license is required for this product), and so the LockDown Browser for Chromebook app cannot be made available to students for use on their personally owned devices.

Elementary and middle school students will no longer have devices checked out to them. Their 1:1 device will remain in their classroom. To request a device for a student in junior high or high school, please contact your student's campus.

Pearland ISD no longer provides hotspots for students.

We recommend the low cost options listed below; however, there may be other low-cost options for broadband internet available to families within the Pearland ISD community.
