Technology
Columbine Hills Elementary School is a 1:1 school, which means that every student in Kindergarten-5th grade has a device assigned/available to them. Students in grades 1-5 are automatically enrolled in Jeffco’s TechforEd program and use a federally-funded Chromebook. As of the 24-25 school year, Kindergarten students use a combination of school-owned Chromebooks and a 3:1 model of district-issued Chromebooks. Some students are also supplied with an iPad (through Jeffco's Exceptional Student Services department).
As a reminder: Each year, families sign off on Jeffco's Technology Agreement:

Tech for Ed in Jeffco
Jeffco Public School’s 1:1 program provides first- through 12th-grade students in neighborhood and option schools a district Chromebook. This creates an equitable and sustainable model for technology-enabled classrooms that prepares students to thrive in a connected, digital world in alignment with the Jeffco Thrives Strategic Plan.
All students can access a district-purchased and managed Chromebook to personalize their learning. This closes the digital device divide and addresses the inequities in classrooms to transform learning.
Students in grades K-12 can also access a variety of digital applications and consistent tools that give them opportunities to demonstrate learning in creative and challenging ways. Each of the technology tools supports students as creators, collaborators and innovative problem solvers rather than as consumers of information.
The program also allows for professional development and learning for teachers to use the provided tools and devices to transform student learning experiences. Having consistent tools and opportunities for teacher training allows for more challenging learning and student engagement and deeper technology integration.
