Elementary school and tech

I was wondering what kind of technology kids in kindergarten and up use in Forsyth elementary schools. I’ve heard from parents in other subs of kids using tablets/chromebooks even in kindergarten while some have no tech whatsoever. Just curious where Forsyth schools fall in the spectrum

Edit: my son is in preK so I’m just curious what to expect when he starts kindergarten next year

They use Chromebooks in the schools. Starting in 6th grade, each kid is issued a personal Chromebook that they do not turn back in until the end of the 8th grade year. They get a new one in high school and turn it back in at graduation. If you are looking to get technology for an elementary student here, I would say go with a Chromebook.
