Technology Support

Access the Milton Public Schools Family Technology Support Help Center website to troubleshoot potential issues with, and/or educate yourself about, a device/ platform/application for which you are not familiar. The site provides information on PlusPortal, Google, Clever, Guardian Monitoring, Who to Contact, and more.

In an effort to help prepare students for the 2021-22 school year, we invite all students to complete the Student Technology Boot Camp. The modules will help students become more comfortable with the platforms/applications that will be used throughout this school year.

All families are highly encouraged to purchase insurance for their school-issued Chromebook for the 2021-22 school year. Families who decline to purchase the insurance for the Chromebook are responsible for damage beyond reasonable wear and tear as outlined in the Loan Agreement. The cost of insurance is $30/year, and it covers unlimited claims with no deductible. Please click on the following link to purchase insurance for your student. After registering for insurance, you will receive an email that includes an invoice and payment information. If you wish to purchase insurance for another child, you will need to repeat this process. Thank you for considering the purchase of accidental damage coverage for your student’s Chromebook.


All students and families of students are required to sign the Chromebook Loan Agreement. Here is a link to the Elementary digital Chromebook Loan Agreements.
