To proceed with the purchase of the chromebook, please contact the school's IT Department at [email protected] for details of the current model/specifications/pricing before filling in the online form at this link: https://go.gov.sg/pdlpadmin. If you are unable to submit the form online, please contact the school's General Office or IT Department for a hardcopy.
The default mode of collection is for incoming Sec 1 students to collect their chromebooks in school during the 1st week of Term 2 (tentative). The Vendor will run through a device checklist with students at the point of collection to ensure that the chromebook is in good working condition, and for your son to verify the condition of the device. The software and DMA would also be installed on the chromebook during the school collection.
If you are concerned that your son will not be able to properly verify the condition of the chromebook, please notify the school and arrange to either collect the chromebook personally at the contractor's service/collection centre or appoint an adult proxy to do so. Do note that Parents/Guardians (or adult proxy) will NOT be able to collect the chromebook in the school. In addition, your son will also need to bring the chromebook to school and arrange for the school's IT department to install the DMA after collection.
For any ad-hoc purchases after March (after the incoming Sec 1 bulk purchase and deployment in March), please contact the school's IT Department at [email protected].
A Device Management Application ("DMA") will be installed on all student-owned chromebook PLDs to be used in the school. The DMA has 3 main components which will support the use of the PLD in the classroom and safeguard students’ cyber wellness:
(a) Classroom Management Service. This enables teachers to manage the students’ use of the PLD during lesson time to improve classroom management and support effective teaching and learning.
(b) Mobile Device Management Service. This facilitates the updating and managing of the PLD, protects the PLD from malicious software, and protects students from objectionable internet content.
(c) Usage Management Service. This enables the school and/or parents/guardians to better supervise and set helpful limits for students’ use of PLD after school.
Please note that the school currently has a Block All Except Whitelist policy in place for all our chromebook PLDs during school hours.
The following DMA settings will be in place as a default:
• MOE and the school will set the level of web content filtering, including filtering out social media sites, pornography, gambling, extremist and violence-related sites. Please note that the school currently has a Block All Except Whitelist policy in place for all the chromebook PLDs.
• Chromebook PLD usage time will be set from 6 am to 11 pm, with school hours set from 6 am to 4 pm
• The school will determine the apps and programmes to be installed to support teaching and learning.
For parents/guardians who wish to choose Option A or Option B, please fill in the Option Form for After-School DMA Parent Options at https://go.gov.sg/acsbr-parent-dma-option.
Parents can request to change your choice of DMA settings at any time through the same link. However, please note that changes to the DMA after-school options will only take effect at the start of the month for requests received before the 22nd of the preceding month.
