Have any Cohort Two schools gotten their Chromeooks?

[RedTailHawk]

At the beginning of the school year, parents were told our school was in the 2nd cohort of the Chromebook roll out and the students would be getting them in October. I haven't heard any updates - have any of these schools gotten them?

n.b. If you don't know what cohort your school is in, the list is at http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/departments/technology/TechPlanRollout.pdf

My kid's Cohort Two (thanks, OP!) school just got them last week.

My daughter's cohort 2 school got them just a couple of weeks ago, but the cohort 2 school I teach in has yet to get them. I think then began the rollout in October, and eventually all the schools in the cohort will get them. There are usually a lot of questions and issues to resolve when a school first starts using them, so it would be a disaster if all the cohort 2 schools got them at the same time.

Churchill is Cohort Two. They received the Chrome Books yesterday. Spent a whole Social Studies period setting them up.

We are cohort 2 and I was told today that they are currently running 2-3 weeks behind.

Monday.

Hmmm - am I not reading the list right? I don't see Flora Singer on the list anywhere but we're getting them this year, too. I'll have to ask DD if they've gotten them yet. She's been doing a lot of tech this year but I haven't inquired about whether it's on the Chrome books or in the lab.

Churchill has had the Chrome Books for over a week and a half. My kid has been using them there since last Monday.

You are listed as "Singer" and are in Cohort 3.

Do the kids bring the computers home or are they just used in school? We were considering laptops for our kids holiday gifts but now I am not sure.

The Chromebooks stay in school.

Thank you. I was clearly not reading it right!
