TAKING CARE OF YOUR CHROMEBOOK:

Students are responsible for the general care of the Chromebook that they have been issued by the school. Chromebooks that are broken or fail to work properly should be reported to the teacher. Teachers will then provide a “Student Chromebook Incident Report.” Chromebooks owned by the District should not be taken to any outside computer service for any type of repairs or maintenance. Students or parents should not attempt to complete any repairs to a Chromebook. 

General Precautions: 

● No food or drinks are allowed next to your Chromebook while it is in use. 

● Cords, cables, and removable storage devices must be inserted carefully into the Chromebook and removed carefully.
